Thanks Peter.
I'll try that out. I'm not having issues with it in clear skies only when there is a bit of light cloud around where if it gets a cloud it stops.
I'll try that. But that is the problem and not sure if that setting is designed to handle that, perhaps it is. I have not seen anything like that in any other program.
Long exposures and the reducer make for a high SNR and using PHD2 when its fully clear and using Sky X when its perhaps a bit dodgy is what is reliable at the moment. PHD2 seems to do the best job of autoguiding of anything I have used so far.
My system is AP RHA 305 on an AP1600GTO mount, Sky X, AP Ascom driver, PHD2, SBIG STi guide camera in an Astrodon MMOAG and either a FLI Proline 16803 or an SX Trius 694 fitted to FLI 7 position filter wheel with 50mm square filters.
At first I did not like using the reducer with the RHA as the edge stars looked pretty whacky but last night they seem perfectly round and bright.
Greg.
