Once in ASCOM I got side of pier working correctly for The SkyX (TSX) I let PHD2 calbrate either side of the meridan near the Celestial Equator about 10 days ago and haven't changed the calibration parameters since (other than to switch RA from Hysteresis to Predicitive PEC).

Normally I often modified and recalibrated guiding per target and definitely per Meridan flip - now I never have to. My guiding is about 0.5 - 0.7 RMS of a pixel for the past 10 days on a bevy of targets.

I slew, solve and centre using TSX and Tpoint (which also handles dome geometry) and then I let SGP and APT run my two imaging scopes and cameras, focuser, filter wheels whilst PHD2 guides on the average centroid movement of the best 9 - 10 stars (multi star guiding) it selects.

Next I want to run scripting sequences of targets per night.

I heard N.I.N.A. is very good with all of this - one step at a time.
