Yes basically I think I can shoot unlimited length shots now with round
stars. I shot a 20 minute one and the stars were the same as the 10 minute image. I am still working on the little trick points of running a Paramount ME which will improve things a bit more.

Really looking forward to seeing some images.

No not unguided. I probably could go a couple of minutes unguided though.
I am continuing to add the niceties each night and everything moves forward a little bit each time. I got Tpoint installed now and started making a Tpoint model (or at least I think I am! Manual for it assumes you already know how to make one!).
I have shot some Ha so far. I am learning about this system and what it responds best to. Mirror temp is important. Focus can shift slightly with temperature. The MMOAG makes the difference. I used a Lodestar guide cam and that works well. I may try it with the ST402 which is slightly more sensitive than the Lodestar but the Lodestar is lighter and easier to use.
I am looking to have everything tweaked so I can take advantage of the no moon coming soon.
