PHD Drift Alignment problems
Gawd, last night was hell. I spent over 4 (!!) Hours chasing the PhD drift alignment trend line.
I learned one good thing, to make sure each exposure was at least 2 secs to avoid the tortuous 'chase the seeing' scenario (it finally dawned on me after a brief 2 hrs..)
But even after seeing a settled trendline, I started guiding and the guider was struggling to keep up, jolting all over the graph.
I tried a different, heavier balance weight, only barely differeny, could that be it? Even after doing a synscan polar alignment, the graph was off the scale and very , very hard to level out. One small adjustment would cause the graph to go opposite direction, almost vertical!
And I was Going so well before! Last week I found the alignment process much easier. Could it be the new version of PhD?
