guiding & taking multiple images.

He everyone.

When one says they set their mount, let it image unatended and go and do something else for some hours, can the software take a series of exposures automaticaly or will it only take one long one? If it will take a series, can ccdsoft, ccdops do this?

Does anyone know if the lx200 acf's can be programed to auto sleep or auto stop at the end of an imaging sesion - is it the software that comes with the camera the thing that controls this? (im using - about to use, the standard software that comes with the SBIG stl-11000).

Also, when auto guiding (throught the scope or seperate guide scope) will it guide on a target for some time or does periodic error accumulate and the target ends up being way off. I presume it will guide for some time - as people do set and forget so to speek .

thanks
Josh
