Dumbbell capturing.

Here's a screen dump from one of my computer screens (running dual monitors you know, it's the only way to go with all these programs running at once).
This shows the PHD guiding window and graph, on the right is the DSLR shutter program.
The HC Buttons are a handy little scope controller that comes with PHD.

Question: Why that star on the left?
Answer: That's what you're supposed to do, pick a star off centre that isn't too bright. ;-)

Guiding with PHD Guiding

Here's a graph output from PHD Guiding software, used to guide my AS-GT mount and Celestron 9.25 scope.
This is a great piece of free software, that along with DSLR Shutter really makes life easy when taking long exposures using a DSLR camera. I'm sitting here writing this entry while the software does all the work, all I have to do is monitor the guiding by keeping an eye on the graph and watch the images come in :-)
