Know the feeling ! Thank you John, will keep my eyes peeled.

Hi John, how are you finding the Askar filter ? cheers Steve

No, actually I didnt, & I also rotated the guide camera, didn't realise this made a difference.

Does anyone have any idea why all of a sudden PHd2 has decided it doesn't want to guide my Eq6-r? It worked fine last week, the only changes I made were putting the guide scope up top to help balance, adding a focuser & I rolled APT to its newest edition. PA I assume was spot on as I use sharpcap & unguided it would take 1 min subs @ 670mm with no trailing (she's heavy @ around 13kg) with phd2 it would trail ! Watching the target in phd2 it seems to drift off one way, usually diagonally. Thanks

Are there many users of the 140ph on here ? I've had one for about two weeks now & managed to get half hours worth of imaging Just wondered if there were any quirks to look for ? I usually put my scopes out at least an hour before imaging, does the focus react to temp changes a lot ? For the half hours worth of imaging I got, I have to say it showed a lot of promise with my Altair 26c & the matched reducer.
