This is my second post in this area. In the first Raymo correctly pointed out that I needed to improve my guiding, so I have been working on this.
Last night in an hour gap between clouds and with good seeing I tried guiding in the region of Canopus.
Attached is a screen dump of phd's history.
The bright star in the Phd2 screen is Canopus.
The mount is a heq5-pro.
The guiding is off axis using a Orion thin off axis guider holding a Canon eos 60Da
at prime focus on my Mewlon 210. The guide camera is a ZWO asi120mm with 2X2 binning set in phd.
The balance is set a little east heavy and north heavy.
I have yet to try phd's guiding assistant.
Suggestions please.
Chris
