With the Orion, I had to REALLY change a LOT of PHD settings to get it to reliably guide. Aggressiveness, pulse duration, hysteresis etc etc. |
Lewis,
Mate, what model of the Lodestar do you use, why that one? and how easy/hard is it for this unit to calc aggressions and iterations before the AG kicks in to guide?
What is the min. mag of star will it guide on?
I use an EQ6 mount, a Paramount GT1100 and a new Titan 50. All these mounts use the SBIG ST4 protocol. Does this unit use same and how sensitive is your unit with short to long g/scopes?
