I've had PHD working for a while using the default settings and it's been working OK, but have always wondered if there was any way to fine tune it.
This is exactly what I've been looking for, next time I'm out I'll give this a try. Since I set up and tear down each night, should I run the Guiding Assistant for every session, or will once be enough?
Thanks,
Andrew
