So my guiding has been pretty flawless until recently. I have these random spikes appear in the declination. I have been troubleshooting it over the past few nights, with no great success.

I’m using PHD 2, and adjusting the parameters did not really do much good. Changing the guide mode between North and South made the spikes not appear as often, but they were still there.

One thing I did notice however was when I turned guiding OFF in declination the spikes did not appear at all!? And the RA graph was a lot smoother.

My plan now is to get my polar alignment good enough so I don’t have to guide in DEC.

Thought would be appreciated.
