OK, I think I follow but it seems to assume that the guide camera and main camera see the same FOV. In my system (and most other guiding systems) it doesn't. I have 2 different images from 2 differnet cameras each looking at a different set of stars.
So if I understand this, ideally I will centre the target star in my main camera through the slit as best as possible then nudge it around to 'fit the slit' then start guiding (or start guiding early and nudge the guide star to move the main star!) In any case, in my system Als reticle is of no use since it will be different for every target. I must check if MaxIm allows nudging the guide star manually or I may just switch to PHD and get it to do my guiding (or does PDH need the Reticle to do the nudging?)
Cheers
