Mmmmm....strange you should say that!! I have just about had enough of PHD. Heaps use it no worries, of course. I use EQMOD and Starry Night for planetarium software and PHD doesn't like to operate too well in this environment, with cutting of communication to the mount, Starry Night hangups, PHD hangups, spoiled frames etc. All works great until I open PHD and it doesn't matter what order I open or do things, somewhere along the line-kerblam!! Last night I gave it the flick. Paid for MaximDL 4 + DSLR and never use it, daunted by its plethora of functions and options. Last night, Maxim guided perfectly, with round stars to the edge of field in 8min exposures of NGC3324. Now to go for 20min subs and see what happens.
