Hi
I have just been reviewing the settings on my Heq5Pro mount paddle. I notice that a range of Auto Guide Speeds of from 0.125 to 1x are available with the factory default setting at 0.5x.
I use PHD for guiding and am wondering if there is an optimum setting for this software or other any considerations that should be given in selecting the Guide Speed?
Cheers Peter

I tried all different settings auto guiding on mine but I find that the default seems to work best.

Thanks - I may try experimenting with other speeds during the coming bright Moon period and report if I see any significant advantage of moving from the 0.5x rate.
