What aggressiveness would you suggest?
Hi,

I am not trying to be critical but I have never seen such bad guiding. It's almost like the mount has horrible backlash in both axes, the scope is severely unbalanced or that maybe the mount head is not secure on the tripod and causes the setup to become non polar aligned.

You say you get good guiding with PHD 2. It is possible to use both the ASIAir and PHD. Why don't you do a run and when the guiding goes haywire, connect just the guidecam to PHD2 and see if it is still guiding like it was before.

Also with calibration you need to calibrate near the meridian. This thread may be useful. https://bbs.astronomy-imaging-camera...ng-asistant/18
