Thanks for responding Christian, I am most appreciative of all the work you do and the time you spend responding to myself and others. Unfortunately for you, your work is so thought provoking; I can't resist trying to fully understand it!

Similarly, thanks to Robin for his comments and the time he spends helping others.

Your comments are source of motivation for me.
A very valuable and constructive discussion!

Also a note about the importance of guiding for recover good continuum and photometric quality:

Image

Alpy 600 observation of a V=12 star with a short focal length telescope D=212 mm F/4.
The slit wide is 5.6 arc sec and the seeing is 4 arcsec. Correct configuration.
(Atik314 l+ guiding camera, 15 sec. exposure).

Here during guiding phase:

The exposure now is 2 seconds. The target star is now invisible on the slit.
I use an auxiliary star for guiding - the base technique for me (Audela software).
