PHD2 PPEC on Low end mounts
Other than improving the mechanical efficiency of my HEQ5 mount with Rowen Belt mods, replacement of bearings etc... is there any advantage using the PPEC algorithm in PHD2 over hysteresis to improve guiding. I’ve read a few posts on CN where people have only improved their error by 0.1 or 0.2 arc sec using PPEC whereas other didn’t see any improvement at all. I guess each mount is different and each night is different but being a predictive algorithm it should improve guiding slightly one would think. My guiding has been ok considering I have a newt on board with 67% payload capacity but I would like to get it a bit tighter. I use the guiding assistant sometimes but most times I can read my mount fairly well and tweak the settings according to conditions and performance
I like to get some feedback from members who use PHD2 PPEC on low end mounts
Thanks in advance
