A windy night is never a good night to test anything. Been there, been frustrated.

That's good to know. Thanks for that. Also I had the hand controller plugged in for most of it and then I detached it. I noticed the raw data showed a big drop perhaps after I unplugged the hand controller so that step of unplugging the hand controller may be important. I thought it would only affect results if you accidentally used it.
Windy night is not good - true.

I measured and programed my PEC a couple of nights ago, and my uncorrected PE was around 2.8", after the correction it went down to 1.4". The seeing here has not been very good. I think with better seeing I should be able to get sub arc second tracking.
Here is a shot from the other night. This is 15min unguided, focal length of 2541mm, .6 arc seconds pixel, PEC and ProTrack on.
This is not perfect but maybe with a better model it might be possible to get round stars. 15 minutes unguided is pushing things to the limit at this focal length.

That's impressive Phil. It looks like you are almost there.
Greg.
