Further to discussing Hypertuning on my EQ6-R pro , the guy from Astrobloke in the UK has another YouTube clip about PEC training your mount for better tracking and guiding performance.
Looking into it a bit further , the EQMOD developers ( Chris Shillito inc ) incorporated PEC training or AutoPEC into EQMOD for mounts with troublesome periodic error ( circa 2007 to 2010 ? )
Unfortunately I can’t use this as I “Dither” and you can’t dither on a PEC trained mount , it sends the mount all over the place
Also I Calibrate in PHD2 and save my Calibration for up to 6 to 12 months ( Auto Restore Calibration) again Auto PEC only works when you switch it off on an un calibrated mount , perform a PHD2 calibration , then switch AutoPEC on again. Too much mucking around , so I’ve ditched the idea of trying AutoPEC to improve my mounts guiding
A Hypertune is probably the only way I could improve my mounts performance
It would be nice to guide nice and stable around 0.40 to 0.50 consistently
Cheers
Martin
