Just wanted to say a huge thanks to everyone that offered help & suggestions over the last couple of weeks. I am really dialed in now.
Had a great session last night, all automated with NINA (focus, slewing, syncing w/plate solving and guiding).
Guided with zero issues for 4 hours at 0.62" RMS, dipping into the high 0.4s sometimes but hovering right in the 0.5s mostly.
I do have some occasional spikes to +/- 2" but they dont seem critical. One big spike at -6" - no idea what happened there so I will just watch out for it
The only issue I have now is I feel my focus is leading to bloated stars as my FWHMs are all in the 6-8 arc/sec range but this is not the mount. My HFR in NINA when auto-focusing is 3.5-3.6 which leads to that number.?
Going to get a Bahtinov mask for the refractor just to check the result of autofocus. There is quite a narrow window of focus surprisingly, and maybe my NINA settings are causing me to miss it
I'm really happy with the images - 10 min subs with eccentricity in the 0.5s even with the sensor tilt
