Much appreciate if you can advise what I did wrong here.
More info:
Equipment
I have HEQ5-Pro Goto mount & Orion Starshoot camera & guide scope (used for autoguiding). Skywatcher CF Newtonian F4 200mm
Connection:
- Orion starshoot to my laptop via USB
- HEQ5-Pro to my laptop via USB
- EQASCOM & PHD loaded
While writing this, I just remember EQASCOM has sidereal tracking feature, which I supposed to be enabled automatically right? (I forgot to double check this)

Try PHD 2 You might find that easy to use not so much to adjust it is worth a try and take dark frames.
