Cheers Troy. I put a bit of thought into the positioning this time rather than just centering it in the FOV.

Thanks Steve. I got as many subs as I could without the scope crashing into the tripod leg. Faced with a meridian flip and the prospect of trying to reframe it in the right position I decided enough was enough.

Cheers Alan. I've just about got the flexure under control now so don't get much drift in a 5 min sub. The guiding has been a bit hit and miss but it was behaving early in the evening. I really need to have a play with the PHD settings some time.
