C8 EHD - E80 guiding config

Description

This is a picture of my eqipment setup I used in April 2014 to take my NGC4565 photo.

The equipement icludes :

- NEQ6 mount

- C8 EdgeHD telescope

- 0.7x focal reducer

- QHY8L CCD camera

- Sky Watcher ED80 as guiding scope

- Orion StarShooter camera for guiding

- Orion X-Y Guide Star Finder

With this configuration, there was too much differential flexure and stars become elongated with subexposure above 1 or 2 mn !

I eventually found that most of the flexure originated from the Orion X-Y Guide Star Finder, I have removed it from this type of arrangment now.
