Doh!

Finally got out with my new 383L+ cam tonight.

Decided to go glob hunting and took on M5.

Mount was all set up and ready to go, add cameras, computer, power supplies.

Focus main camera, aim at target, find guidestar (via OAG) lock guider via PHD

Snap away. After an hour I come to inspect and I've got an hours worth of donut stars .. eh!.. DOH!!! I turned the camera and the OAG when I went hunting for a guide star.. should have rechecked the focus. Won't forget that one in a hurry.

Back to square one with another glob.. M5 now having gone out of range for me right now.

Had a crack at NGC6760. Results are now in the deep sky imaging section.

and this time I focussed AFTER finding the guide star.
