Re. hand-guiding vs. astroguider: I have done it by hand and it's one of the most laborious, cramping, boring, eye-straining jobs I've ever done.
Oh, pooh, nonsense. It's hardly physically demanding. No more eye straining than any other type of visual observing if you are reasonably well polar aligned. The days of 4-hour exposures are over (for the most part, anyway). Come-on, it's OK to just admit "I don't like to hand-guide". __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
