Hi Martin , I've been reading through your PDF files , thank you !

I've got most of it wired and already have several documents about PHD2 thanks . The "obsessive or compulsive" comment was probabaly the most helpful , because I do get fussy and want things "perfect" , it's just the way I am : )

Because of my inexperience , I should have mentioned that I was using pixinsight and also bought the book "Inside Pixinsight" to help me . The book has helped me a lot and I've been through the process maybe 4 times . Because of this I now realise I need longer exposures .

I have noticed sawtoothing and dealt with that weeks ago . Tuesday night went well and long exposures were good .

I have seen the odd spikes in the PHD2 graph and quickly raced to check for snaggs but couldn't find any . I think I have flexure (piggy backing) in my rig when facing south but not when facing west . I'll get there , thanks again : )

Hi Mark , yes I have my graph set to arc-seconds & not pixels .
As mentioned above I have pixinsight : ) I'll stop being lazy and check the book to see what it says about stacking multiple nights . Thank you !
