Well I am out the back, testing my spacers.

Been a scenario!!!!! Could not get a picture , just back, I had plugged cable in guide port. Still would not give me a picture, I thought it is because of the spacer, shone torch down the end, nothing, AA said no camera connected. Time for a BIG BIG SWEAT........................took if off ed80 & noticed the shutter was closed, don't know why that was, mopped my brow, restarted the mount 10 times!!!!!! had a swear, now indoors for a cup of tea before I go back out & see how it has all gone wrong.

Should have set the other laptop up indoors, but too many problems. Think I am ok now

Still had problems getting a guide star to show up in Focus in AA. I am sure it is to do with the size & shape of the selection box

Yes, welcome back John, you can stick your oar in now..........if you feel like it!!!!! :lol: :lol:

I drink far too much weird French stuff so I've recently been trying to give up the booze - but it hasn't been working.  So I decided to join Alcoholics Anononymous - the mutual support is great.  Every week they have a guest speaker - normally a famous celebrity that has worked through their own problems and can act as a guide to those still struggling.  At the meeting we also tend to gorge ourselves on a big box of assorted chocolates - sometimes a square box, sometimes a round one - it's supposed to help stop the alcohol cravings.  But this week I turned up for the meeting pretty much drunk again and, as usual, everything looked pretty blurry to me, including the guest speaker.

So that's why tonight, I still had problems getting the guide star to show up in Focus in AA.  But it was nothing to do with the shape and size of the selection box.  :cheesy:
