Guiding issues Exos2Gt PMC8

So a couple weeks ago I finally completed my rig.
Been out with it twice so far and I'm trying to find some insight as to why my guiding is so bad.

Many thanks again Julien. I'm waiting for clear skies now but will see how I go with just my DSLR and Sequator (which appears to be loaded successfully),
Kind regards, Brian

Hey Brian,
I use Lightroom to pre-process my lights, I use the lens profile of my lens to remove the vignetting and apply some small steps like reducing the highlights and the blacks to get rid of

Hi Julian many thanks for this, much appreciated. I had problems loading DSS unfortunately I think because I have an older 32 bit PC. I presume DSS requires a 32 bit platform.
I have now successfully

Re: Ten minute subs with an EXOS2 PMC8!

Outstanding.
I've recently gotten five minutes subs and I too am very impressed and satisfied with my mount performance.
I'm sure it could do twice that amount or more time permitting.

Amazing! Just tried to connect and test the mount from APT. Exactly what I needed for slow motions and framing. Problem solved! Hope it's going to be a clear night for further testing.

Thanks for the information Bob. Unfortunately I am not planning to use Astrotortilla. I see there is an option to connect to the mount in Astrophotography Tool. I'll give it a try and see if I can

Eric,
You can do a lot with 5 minutes at 300mm - that's great!
Thanks! No, it's faster than that. Mine's a 102/621mm.

Cybermonk,
Absolutely - but as to discouraging posts, it's all about expectations. :-)
The mount, with out-of-the-box adjustments, will likely track fine for visual users. Putting a camera on one
