Tonight I sat there for four hours trying to image with PHD and for some reason could only shoot nearly always 1 X 4 Min before that wonderful DONG, DONG, DONG,DONG, etc kept on coming. I'm frustrated as we have a HEQ5 Pro and quite often we have this situation. I thought removing the finderscope on the side of the ED 80 would solve the balance problem in the RA and the scope seems well balanced. Slightly heavy to the east to engage gears. When setting up the mount using the hand control I get to the Set Up after dates etc and I change the auto guiding from .5X to 1X. I thought you would want to guide at this speed????? and also set mount to siderial then off I go. PHD and DONG DONG DONG. We have had at most 7 X 5 Minutes without DONG. Any suggestions as I am lost....... Thanks Mark B
