I suppose as long as I am getting round stars, that is the main thing!

Yeah, unless you want lightning shots, then tonight isn't the night for astro imaging

I initially wanted the perfect PhD graph. As soon as the trace went +/-1 pixel, I would stop the exposure and start again. I soon came to realise the odd movement like that still produced round stars.

Also, what's your arcsec/pixel for your guiding and imaging setup?
