Pretty good for an unguided shot.

I am trying to get photos with an 8" F4 at the moment and I am having big problems with focus and guiding. My stars look like ovals.


Ross.
Thank you very much Ross. The best thing I brought in terms of focus is a Bahtinov focus mask. So quick and easy to focus with one of them. As for guiding- I spent a lot of time getting my polar allignment pretty good, so I can generally get over 5 minutes without the stars moving, so my synguider autoguider is barely kicking in at all. I hope you get those issues sorted soon.
Greg
