Hi

Still suffering from this hacking cough, so did not spend much time outside just enough to test out the DIY 80mm guidescope made out of a 80mm binocular objective, taken with C102ED with a unmodded 500D. 12x 3mins subs @ISO400, with 10x Bias, no Flats or Darks taken.

Great fun! What camera have you attached to the guidescope Nadeem? Any pics of the DIY job?

This is impressive. Always good to see unconventional ways of doing things and using a bit of DIY innovation. Hopefully saves a few pennies too.
