Yes Ian, and that will be my next step if I can't get well guided photos
this next dark-time.  I'll have to get the 
viewing adapter for the geg to do it. I'm hopeful that the increased
calibration times are one solution for me; I did get much better
average corrections with them, and several other LX 200 owners noted their
use of higher ca times than I was initially using.  

Thanks Ian and everybody else for the tips.
