Off axis guiding the c9.25 second attempt

Spent several hours last night capturing the Tatarantula nebula (11x5minute exposures at Iso 400 , total of 55minutes), Centaurus A 11x5minute exposures @Iso 400) and M83 (5x5min exposures@iso 400). When i get serious i will get more pictures . I'm pretty happy with the tracking and using iso400 for the exposures. The pictures were adjusted in DSS and i am yet to pretty them up in photoshop.
regards philip

You seem to be getting some nice round stars there Philip. I've just bought an Orion Deluxe Autoguider but have yet to try to make it work with my Meade 10" - reckon we'd have similar issues.
