First go at autoguiding

[Sam]

After a minor modification to the HEQ5 I managed to have a go at autoguiding for the first time.

5 X 5min subs, no flats, no darks and not very well focused, and I'm not really sure where it is either (yes I know, very slack) anyway the point of the exercise was to see how it worked:

Next time I'll close the curtains to the lounge, I see a bit of extra light must have been coming in. A huge amount of stars!!

Nicely capture Sam, looks like it's working fine

[Ant]

Looks spot on to me mate!

It's a good feeling isn't it, when things suddenly start to work!

Looks to be working just fine - great feeling getting this aspect of astro-imaging working!

Welcome to the 5 minute subs club!

Isn't it great when a plan comes together?

Onwards and upwards.

Now't wrong with that Sam.

It appears that you have it 'well sorted', and what a huge beneficial impact its going to have on your imaging.

Well done!!
