You just had to say it, huh? :-) That may have been part of the
problem. But when the ST-4 started guiding my scope all over the sky, I
was pretty sure it wasn't my fault. It did make for some very
intersting exposures though. I know a little more about that stuff
nowadays and I'm willing to forgive and forget.

ALL manuals are like that. The STV is not even an option at this time.

I will access that and any other help I can get my hands on.
