Excellent result! Great star colours and nice round stars! Looks like the guiding worked a treat.

What program did you use for guiding? Did you guide through the ED80?

i tried phd as it was recomended and it works a treat, the dmk as it has no bayer array could have provided abetter result too, its probably the best tracking ive ever had with no movement over an hour.

12 inch is f5 just the bintel dob version.

guided through the ed80
