Thanks All !!
I set up this arvo once the sun was out of the way , had everything connected EQMOD , Stellarium, APT and imaging camera cooled ready to go
Opened PHD2 , pressed connect to launch the equipment box , clicked on the little black and green arrow and blow me down it was selecting my 2600MC imaging camera not the 120MM guide camera
I selected the 120MM guide camera and connected perfectly with all Darks and Calibration green ok
In the 3 years I’ve been using PHD2 I’ve never , repeat never, touched those little arrows to check , it’s always just connected the guide camera without fail ( maybe I’ve been fluking it for 3 years )
Thanks Karl and Adam and also Ivo at APT for suggesting I check the camera with those little arrows
Potentially saved me hours and hours of work having to re do profiles , calibration and darks at 2 different sites
Last night was perfectly clear with good seeing and I was going to capture 3 to 4 hours on NGC 2467 Skull and Crossbones Nebula but those little arrows were the last thing on my mind , I was updating drivers , checking camera connections in Device Manager , rebooting etc...
Maybe Saturday night could be a late start on NGC 2467
Thanks again !!
Cheers
