Auto Guiding

Ten Min exposure

5 min exposure

2 min exposure

My first attempts at Auto Guiding..Made a 2 min then 5 min then ten min exposures..

Had to use my main pc and a laptop to take the images due to duplicate port usage

Results are not bad and better than unguide but still room for improvment

All done with the Rebel XT Canon and the Nexstar 5i plus 80 mm ota

The tem Min exposure was take with a lower sensitivity to avoid over exposure

Results as you see
