Tired last night for the first time guiding with my Orion 80mmED and imaging through the 10"SCT using a 6.3 focal reducer with Guidedog and meade LPI as the Autoguiding setup . Revisited the same ground again with the HH and M42 with 12x250sec , results weren't to flash but i was happy with how the autoguiding went . Conditions started off perfectly with a beautiful dusk/early evening period but wind in gusty spells picked up considerably and got to the stage I had to call it quits . Given this I only deleted two frames out of the 24 i took I was happy how the guiding went . Next point to try is taking flats and experiment with ISO settings , seem to get a lot of noise even with 800. The HH continues to be hard to capture and the results were pretty dim and M42 isn't to good either but something to work on ...

PS: Pic of my dog shows how i feel after some long nights this week
