Nice tight stars, image wise there are a few blotches, colour lacking, loads of noise, no darks or flats were applied,I pressume, a quicky no doubt, not up to your usual high standard, was this more a test of the mounts guiding ability

Cheers

Trevor this was just a guiding test to see if the new beta firmware worked.
All the other guiding attempts were not so good so this firmware is a big step ahead for the Gemini2.
I just went to bed as soon as the guiding worked and had set the limits so when i got up in the morning the mount was stopped at the limits (another part that works properly now).
