I agree, i usually use a guide period of 2 sec, but that is with Metaguide.

My seeing is almost always unstable, so I'm mostly restricted to lower power viewing and I guess lower magnification imaging. Fortunately my yard is fairly dark.

The guiding exposure time is 1 sec. I had to look that up as I'd only read the quick start guide and the guider just worked - plug and play is good .

I just enabled the dithering today so it'll be interesting to see how that goes - I've set the value at 10 pixels.

Next clear night I'll be trying my TSA120 with an ES 0.7x reducer.
