Thank you both for your helpfull replies. I will try PHD and see how I get on. The other point I did not raise was the sensitivities of the loadstar, this will be dependant om the apature of the objective. I have two options1) The F9 152 mm triplet with the off axis guider mounted on the filter wheel 2) I have upgraded to the Baader vario finder, brilliant by the way, and using the extension tube is instantly converted to a guide scope. This gives a very wide field of view. This has a 60 mm objective and is very fast with a 25o mm focal lenth. In your opinions how deep can I go using this guider
