Great tracking. I like the open star cluster.

Very nice Trevor. Looks like you have your new toy sussed out. Stars look nice, just a shame about the JPG artifacts. Great star colour.
Once you get everything on the mount sorted I'm sure you'll love it like the rest of us G11 owners.

Well done Mate.

Thanks Doug and Dan, there is a lot to learn about the G11 so I might end up bending your ear for help

I've already chewed a few ears off since I got mine!

It seems to be coming together, Balance and cable management seem to be the icing, sort those two out and the rest just sort of comes together!

Thanks Darren and Steve, I went from two nights where tracking was very good to excellent to a third night where PHD wouldn't track anything even after setting up and using Alignmaster.

Back to the drawing board so too speak
