*Update:* I have come to the conclusion that 7 arc seconds per second in ServoCAT sky is not fast enough to calibrate or guide well between 160 Az? and 200 az (so +/- 20 degrees of south), same to

Thank you Raphael!

Congratulations Gabriel ! Really great

As the weatherman promised our skies cleared up Wednesday and yesterday Thursday so i was finally able to test Autoguiding on actual capture. It works well and i can confirm that dither also works

Your welcome Raphael, thank you. Happy to help! I don't see any advantage of imaging with autoguiding in combination with easytrack except if your DSC is not working, so a good backup solution! PHD2

Thanks Gabriel Even if don’t understand everything detail you explain, all this will be of great use for community including me when I have a higher level in astrophotography One question : With the

I made some new discoveries this morning when creating a new profile to improve my understanding of PHD2. *1.* It is not possible, when creating a new profile to enter a mount speed less then 0.20 x

Thanks Gary "Try this as well: hold the CW and CCW buttons for I think it is 3 seconds - the yellow LED next to the CCW should come on. You can do this same test using the UP/DWN buttons (where the

Hello Gary, That is correct. However, when guiding at the bottom to the right you can set MAX pulse duration in AZ and ALT, default is 2500 ms which i have not found a reason to change. Even if you

try to be sure to hold the HC perpendicular to the camera - and in focus. That stated I suspect you are right. It however doesn't make sense that it powers up correctly (showing the lights as a check

oups forgot to put the video here it is

Thanks Gary for quick answer ! Enclosed another video made the same day. I'm not aware of any color shift affected my eye. I clearly see the yellow LS light on when turning on the servocat handpad

Although the video is not in focus it seems like I do see the LS light on the HC come on when you press the LS button! I can see at the instant you are pressing it a slight change in the LS light and

Dear Gary, dear all, I red in the servocat guide that when powering the handpad, the leds are on for a short period of time (like in a car) Yesterday I was at observatory so I checked and I saw that

Gabriel, So - you are not setting "5000" anywhere? It is a result of or what is used by the program when doing autocalibrate? I ask because I don't remember anywhere to set the pulse duration. Gary

Yes i was surprised too, Thank you! The calibration in PHD2 is automatic, so you just press and wait. PHD2 calculates the pulse to be sent for each calibration step from the values you have entered in

Waouh !! Just amazing what accuracy you get from just a 180 mm focal length guiding your 2700 mm focal length scope !!!! and in easy track mode !!! A friend of mine was saying to me yesterday that

Update: I got sub arc second guiding with Easytrack and Autoguide when i was out a few days ago: (Graph uploaded on Astrobin) https://astrob.in/full/mlbcpm/0/ Even though it is possible to calibrate

Thank you Gary, happy to help! Great tip, this also means you will visually get a rough idea/understanding of the guide calibration, so when PHD2 moves the scope east, back west, north back to south
