Guiding Hell
So I had a weird set of issues last night with guiding and I have no idea where to start debugging them.
I had polar aligned the EQ6 within 10 arcseconds and went to start guiding for the camera.
The guide set up consists of a 50mm guidescope with a ASI120MM camera aligned to an ED80, all controled via EQMOD and PHD2.3
This has been a setup Ive used many a night before and no settings were changed.
However, last night If I enabled guiding, PHD would pulse constantly E for a couple seconds, then W for a couple seconds. To the extent that even on a 15 second focus shot via the ED80, there was massive star trailing. If I turned guiding off, I could do a couple minutes without much issue.
Any thoughts of the origin of this issue?
