A lot of users are running under parallels with no issues at all. Guylain Post Extras:       AbsoluteZero newbie Reged: 04/28/10 Loc: N.

If I were to make a custom layer for measuring arcseconds, am I able to drop that in a program directory so I can use it too (provided I rename the image)? If not, could I send it to you for use in a future release?

I do have plans to offer a more precise measurement base on your optics eventually.

Thanks Jim Post Extras:       guyroch Vendor (BackyardEOS) Reged: 01/22/08 Loc: 3rd rock from the sun, Canada Re: BackyardEOS Version 2 [Re: red lightning]       #5521896 - 11/15/12 08:54 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Jim, BYE does not do guiding, it does dithering. This said you can't guide and image with the same camera. This is not possible with DSLRs. You need a separate guide camera and either a guide scope or an off-axis guider hooked up to PHD. Once you have proper guiding then, and only then, can BYE do its magic and dither between each images. Does this make sense?

I was confused between dithering and guiding. thanks for the clairification. maybe a glossary of terms would help for us newbe's.

I rarely read those manuals too Thank you for your support.
