I really like the original Lodestar, lightweight, 16bit, large pixels and a fairly low noise.
When I swapped old laptop for a new one though, most frames had random interference pattern that when overlapping with the guide star would confuse phd2 and cause rapid mount movements chasing apparent movement of the miscalculated guide star’s centroid.
Selecting an option to use only a small box around the guide star completely rectified the issue, which I believe has something to do with the new laptops USB ports.
