Thanks for the heads up, sadia. I had read something about this a while ago.

Martin, why the SBIG and not the QHY? Well, for starter's the SBIG is a full 35mm frame... I've been spoilt using a full frame DSLR, and, the larger chip affords a less intimate view of certain objects. A little space around them, if you will.

The remote guide head arrived today, thanks Andrew (Comet Guy)!

I was going to head out tonight and do some imaging, but, I checked SkippySky (for the first time) and we have 90%+ cloud cover forecast well into Sunday evening. That puts paid to that idea. I won't get to use it until I get back from holidays.

Thank you, everyone.
