RE: [APML] Guiding far from the object

["Jeff Ball" <jeffball@zoominternet.net>]

Nicola,
It all depends on how accurate you are polar aligned.  Any polar
misalignment will be excagerated by the distance your guide star is
seperated from the middle of your photographic object.  Good luck.  You
can pick up an ST4 pretty cheap on astromart<g>
