Guiding advice


Recommended Posts

Alright,so I spent some time going through some astro stuff and at the hardware store and made up a mount bar,an adapter to attach an old Meade 9x60 finder scope and a SPC900 cam to a ST102 refractor to experiment with guiding.Using some off the shelf plumbing coponents I was able to attach the cam and achieve focus without having to modify the finderscope except for removing the diagonal. After downloading PHD and getting that configured and talking to the mount along with a rough alignment I took the image below. It' just a random star I picked to try the guiding out. The question is, from the look of the stars would you say the guiding was reasonably good or is more tweaking necessary? The shot is a single Jpeg snapshot at 6 minutes,ISO 800 with a Canon 1000D.
