Phd Guiding With Q-guider Camera
Hi
PHD is a great guiding program but I have noticed on recent and earlier threads that some have problems with its sensitivity in displaying suitable guiding stars.
I was previously guiding with a DSI Colour camera but when I had the above difficulty I was advised to get a Q-Guider mono camera. However, I now find that this camera is no more sensitive than the DSI with regard to obtaining visible guiding stars.
I don't think that this is so much a problem with the camera but lack of gain in the PHD software.
Is there any way I can improve the sensitivity of PHD when using the Q-Guider? Or alternatively, another guiding program that does not have this problem and can use the Q-Guider driver?
I am using a 150mm Mak at f8 as the guide scope so aperture should not be my problem??. Even stars of mag 6 when targetted show up pretty dim on PHD.
Cheers Peter
