Bill,
Thanks for replying
After reading the PHD2 and EQMOD manuals , EQMOD dictates the mounts speed which in my case is 0.5 x sidereal
The guide speed setting in PHD2 under the Calibration step calculator is only for PHD2 to calibrate the guiding for the equipment used by moving the guide star appropriately
In the Calibration Step Calculator window , the box where you fill in the guide speed is a multiple of the mounts guide speed , which in my case is set by EQMOD to 0.5 x sidereal
Therefore I should just leave the box filled in with 1.00
If I reduce my setting in EQMOD to say 0.2 x sidereal, then PHD2 may struggle to calibrate as the guide star may not move enough to complete calibration
I will leave EQMOD as 0.5 x sidereal but may try 0.5 guide speed in PHD2 and see if guiding improves, otherwise I will go back to my original setting of 1.00 in PHD2
Thanks
