When I use Stellarium to find and lock onto an object it’s uses Stellarium scope to find the mount , connect to the mount via EQmod Ascom and provide slew, stop and sync commands
But before you can connect to the mount via StellariumScope you have to set EQMOD Ascom with your mount type , port details, site location information, and guiding information which is pulse guiding
In eqascom you have to set your tracking rate, site location information and alignment type and this will enable your goto via StellariumScope in Stellarium
My question is do I have to set any pulse guiding parameters in EQ Ascom EQ5/6 to enable PHD2 to guide correctly or does it just run with the nominated tracking rate and guide according to the selected guide star in the field
I’m a bit lost , I’m trying to get my head around your planetarium software tracking an object at say sidereal rate and PHD2 guiding with micro tweaks to correct the errors
Appreciate a simplistic explanation
