G'day all,
I'm having a go with my QGuider & PHD, and CCDSoft. Got some problems perhaps people can help with:
PHD: The camera connects fine. I click to start calibration, the status bar says "" and then the computer makes a sound like a USB device has been disconnected, and PHD freezes. I've left it for quite some time and still nothing. I force it to close. The QGuider's light stays on the whole time, suggesting it remains connected.
CCDSoft: CCDSoft will autoguide fine when I configure the autoguider settings manually, but it will not run a calibration routine. It says it's moving X direction, does so for a short time (a second or less) then takes another shot and says the movement in X is too small - it doesn't report any error that caused it to stop moving X after a short time rather than the 5 - 15 second calibration time I have specified.
Any ideas on either problem?
I am managing to use it successfully with CCDSoft and a manual autoguider configuration, but it's far from optimal.
Thanks,
Roger.
