I had a bit of a play with PHD2 last night. Things didn't go too well. First images returned from my ST-i looked very odd. Barely any stars showed up in the camera FOV so I disconnected and connected to TSX which on the same FOV showed many stars. Went back to PHD2 and only a single bright star looked like it could be guided on. I tried different gain settings and finally was just barely able to see other stars but they remained very faint even with greatly incresed exposure time. Perhaps this was due to the inability of PHD2 to bin the camera 2x2. Not sure. Even at 1x1 the ST-i is quite sensitive. I also tried with and without darks and this hardly made a difference. Any ideas from any of you familiar with this program?
Thanks!
Peter
