Thanks very much for that data. I only had the tutorial and it assumes knowledge of how to enter the data, what is trying to be achieved etc.

The system is humming along nicely for now. I am getting round stars at 10 and 20 mins. They could be a bit rounder but it would be a minor improvement.

I have a 6 point Tpoint model from last night. It gave a small correction to the polar alignment which I did.

MMOAG is working fine, so is the Lodestar. I'll try the MMOAG out with the ST402 as well to see which is better.

The Lodestar has a white horizontal line across the image near the very top of the image. Sometimes the software confuses that with a bright star - ie. callibration. I have to use subframes to stop that. Otherwise the Lodestar is very very good and would appear to be only slightly less sensitive than the St402 (perhaps 75%) but seems sharper, better resolution which seems to help with autoguiding.

Greg.
