Doh my mistake , drop @flo an email see if they can get it made in silicone cable

In the startools folder there is a txt file John it has your workflow saved after every session so you can look at it .

Try this link https://www.firstlightoptics.com/astronomy-cables-leads-accessories/lynx-astro-silicone-power-cable-for-sky-watcher-az-eq5-az-eq6-eq6-r-mounts.html

Give it a try startools is free to try for as long as you want , you just can’t save final image until you pay for the licence , though you can screen shot ,

I love startools John I’m a believer some peeps don’t get it but it simplifies processing , I didn’t get on with PS so much faffing about for me don’t be fooled by it , it is extremely powerful, great images ,by the way take a look at Ecuador’s tutorial http://astro.ecuadors.net/processing-a-noisy-dslr-image-stack-with-startools/ probably the best tutorial I have seen on startools , startools forum has good info and Ivo Jager is extremely helpful , and cost wise it’s not going to break the bank .

FLO sell lynx silicone eqdirect cable superb build I have one highly recommend and fdti .

Yes they’re fine farecla products used in marine industry they’re just cutting compounds you just need a fine compound there are other makes bit like Tcut but finer , last product is a polymer cleaner use it on my car doesnt contain wax though water just beads off

try something like this product using an electric polisher https://refinishsystems.com/product/farecla-g3-glaze-gloss-enhancer-1l/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIqeC6mPqe2wIVbZPtCh00vAn5EAQYBSABEgKCn_D_BwE and protect with this with this https://www.croftgate.uk/product-page/quick-n-slick-250ml

ratio of 1:5.05 is that good ? +1 for a traffic light on the result figure

I was getting star trails before guiding that I do know , all a learning curve, kit was 200pds , canon 1000D Eq6 pro baader cc , will have a second crack using guiding assistant .

Cheers guys I will try the guiding assistant

Set up pier for the first time and tried phd2 screen shot of my graph no idea how good or bad it was any ideas /comments test sub from first guiding 300sec sub

That’s definitely the wrong fitting looks like a bollard type fitting , are all the streetlights like that

Great result
