Ok I posted what I think I should select

Correct me if I am wrong

According to this;http://www.blackwaterskies.co.uk/p/imagingtoolbox.html ,  I reckon that, with your QSI 690 and your Esprit 100 - you should get a field of view of 1.3 x 1.04 degrees at an images scale of 1.38 secs/px - see the image below

Therefore you need the top box to be the index for 20% of your narrowest field of view (i.e. 20% of 1.04 degrees = approx 13 arc mins) and the bottom box needs to be the index for the 1.3 degrees.

Hope this helps - AT is really excellent - there's a very detailed thread on SGL here which I found very useful... http://stargazerslounge.com/topic/193470-my-tutorial-for-installing-setting-up-and-using-astrotortilla/page-6?hl=plate+solve#entry2133055

Hope this helps

Your figures are correct for an f8 scope.

As I recall the files took me something like 20 hours to download - I just left the computer downloading in the background.  Of course, we do have arguably the slowest so called "broadband" in the country!   And I'm sure it's getting worse.  Often as low as 100K bits per sec or just twice as fast as dial-up

Cool.. I just didn't want to download the whole of the net as can download 1gb per 10 min lol
