I picked up an Orion StarShoot Autoguider yesterday and was eager to test it. I shot this from my back yard under a three quarter moon. This is my first ever guided shot. All parameters for the guider except exposure were set to default so there a few tweaks might improve things a little.
Does anyone have any recomendation as to which guide speed to set my GM8 to (stepper version, non-goto)?
Equipment:
Optics - TV-85, TV 0.8x focal reducer
Mount - Losmandy GM8
Camera - Canon 350D (unmodified)
Guiding - Orion StarShoot Autoguider/PHD/William Optics ZenithStar 66 SD
Exposure Information:
7x180s @ ISO 800
