Hello
Well the first attempt of autoguiding went extremely well. Easy to setup and balance the mount. I had to reinstall the orion drivers but that was the only hitch! Found a guide star using my ED80 and was up and guiding within 5 minutes. I did two 5 minute exposures but the batteries ( 4 rechargable AA ) didnt last long. So I did 10 x 3 minute subs.
Here is the result.
NGC55
Bintel 8" astrograph Newt.
Pentax K-x (power hungry bugger)
iso 800
3 minute subs x 10 + Master flat, bias and dark.
Guided with Orion star shoot and ED80 guide scope.
NEQ6pro
Processed with DSS PS CS2.
