Guiding test

Description

Followed some tips given to me by Paddy to get my mount tracking properly. Very useful tips. I used PHD2 to refine the polar alignment from the scope fix and used 3-D balancing on the axis. The previous night I did a 50+ minute run and the RA error was around 7 arc sec. This time its under 1 way under ;) Haven't touched any adjustments on the rig I wanted a good baseline to work from. From what I'm seeing I'm not touching a thing until there is more error than what I'm seeing now. Also note that all the dots are green there were no guider movements during the 15 minute run. Wanted to go for the full hour again but the clouds rolled in early and I had to pack it in. I'm very happy with it didn't think it would track this well and for DSLR imaging with a 64mm focal length its excellent. The wheels are already turning however if it works this well maybe a nice apo is justified
