Thanks!! As for the flex problem, my original bracket that I used to attach my guidescope was made by a friend. It worked really well except that it took a lot of care and tightening attaching it each session. However, there was usually some drift prevelant. I decided to spend $29 at Andrews for a GSO dovetail adapter which I've bolted to my scope using a sturdy piece of aluminium. Now it's a simple matter of fit and screw to have a very tight fixture. I've attached a picture of the setup - there was abolutely no drift in my images which was fantastic!
Cheers,

Thanks for the photo of your guide scope setup.
It does look nice & solid.
I found that a tight guide scope worked well for a Northern target
but wasn't so good when the telescope was pointing South.
I don't know the reason for that so I'll wait for your next pics to see how you go.
You certainly nailed the Trifid.
Thanks for sharing.
