Arun that's great to hear
>>The last few times, I¡¯ve really not had to think of guiding at all. It has become very reliable
that's really the goal, right? that guiding is no longer the constraining factor
I think you may still find some things i'll be covering to be of value to you. well, at least that's what i hope!
i think people can achieve well below 1", but I wanted to set a more general bar
Thanks to all the great discussion in this group, I am happy to state that I am well under that. Not so long ago, 0.8¡± RMS was a great night. Now, I continually achieve 0.65¡± RMS. The last few times, I¡¯ve really not had to think of guiding at all. It has become very reliable. One big thing that helped me was switching to using SharpCap for polar alignment. I wasn¡¯t a believer until I tried it!
