Hi Rob

You may like to suggest a mod for saving the camera setting to Craig Stark. He appears to be very responsive to suggestions to improve his PHD although changes make take some time because he is understandably pretty busy!
One use of PHD which I don't believe I have seen suggested on threads is the ablility to quickly achieve spot on polar alignment with PHD by switching off DEC guiding and adjusting the azimuth screws until the DEC graph "flat lines" (actually it still wiggles around zero a bit). This involves resetting the guide star after each azimuth tweak but it is by far the best method I have found to achieve good polar alignment. Subsequent guiding in DEC by PHD then seems very accurate. What do you think?
Cheers Peter
