Ken,

PHD and I think MaximDL can report on your guide operation so you can consider how to improve things.

UT Time, Star X, Star Y, OffsetX, OffsetY, Corr X, Corr Y, Bright
09:48:40, 306.59, 128.10, 11.49, -12.50, -2.00, -2.00, 7522

Universal time - snap by snap - when it occurred = start time + multiples of your guide interval

Star X Y - the absolute X and Y position in pixels down to a 1/100 of a pixel of where the centroid of the guide star was when you started guiding

Offset X Y - the total different in where the centroid of the guide star is now

Corr X Y - the delta move X and Y components PHD sent to the mount to compensate for guidestar movement.

Bright - the absolute magnitude of the guidestar - useful to see if it was fading (implying clouds) or if too high likely to saturate the CCD pixel well.


Jase - thank will go though all this - killer rig you have there buddy!
