Took your advice Joe and image M51 for 2 consecutive hours, guiding did not work again, so I did it the OLD FASHION WAY, 120 one minute combined images in MaximDL/CCD. Was a great night until the Moon came up causing a hazy sky throughout the East and Southeastern skies. Tried guiding with the software that came with the mount after completing the above image, it showed that it was guiding, star did not go outside the crosshair. I did not image as it was already 1:30 am Monday and I was tired. Need to do some processing. By the way SN2005cs is in the image (however dim) if you know where to look ! See Astronomy mag. for July page 48 to get help.
