Thought I might as well post another M31 - 19x8 min subs. 130 PDS and Canon 1100D using DSS, Pixinsight and Canon DPP. Guided on a NEQ6 using ST80 and ASI120MC. I guess if I had put more thought into the camera rotation I may have captured it in its entirety perhaps next time !

Hi All Well after following this thread I decided to get a 130 PDS as my first serious imaging scope ! I already have a ST80 which I cut my teeth on which I intend to use as a guide scope for the 130 PDS. To this end I also bought a ZWO ASI120MC to use as a guide camera for DSO work and also to experiment with some lunar and planetary stuff. Does anyone have any experience of using the ST80 and 130 PDS combo ? eg is it best to use guide scope rings or can I get away with using the supplied ST80 rings ? Any help appreciated. Anyhow I took a single shot of the moon with the ZWO and 130 PDS recently
