G11 G2 guiding attempts.

Like Darren i had lots of guiding problems and my QHY5 died, so i had to get a guider quick.

With the guider cable just about every image was a total loss.
After a while the guide star just moved away.
Then i took the cable off and did the guiding thru ascom, mucho better
For this test i just plonked the mount on three tiles and leveled.
Still have to drift align
So the stars in the corners are not good at all (remember this was just a test to get everything working).

All the pics are 10Min Luminance and 100 to 200 Sec RGB and about 8 exposures each except for Omega Centaury wich has shorter exposures.
