I usually use the QHY5(mono) for autoguiding with PHD.

Give me nice round stars.

Also makes an excellent planetary imager

Saturn

Beautiful! Saturn is so sharp and contrasty.

Thanks. Must organise LRGB images. Then Saturn will be in its full glory.

Thank you all.

It is just that on the QGVideo software you can zoom to 400% and refocus before capture ala live view on DSLR. The seeing helps too.

Nice Saturn! Frankly I see it every night when it is not cloudy but have not seen it through a telescope since the rings returned. [smilie=bye2.gif]
