Can anyone give me some approximate settings for a DSI being used as an autoguider with PHD Guiding. I forgot to take a note of the ones I used successfully in NSW and now all I can get is noise on the screen. Guide scope is a 80mm F5. It took me many frustrating hours to work this out last time, any suggestions to save me some time, not to mention my sanity :), would be most appreciated.

I think this thing is haunted. :eyepop: Fired it up and within 5 mins had it focussed and showing stars. Thanks anyway guys, I'll be noting all settings and marking the focus point ASAP.

Bill,
Isn't it good when things just work!
I use the DSI IIpro on the spectroscope and sometimes it just wanders of into the desert and won't talk to me....if you plug it into a different USB port it starts re-installing itself....

Anyway, good to know your having success!!
