[White Rabbit]

Hi Guys.

I'm delving into the world of guiding (Joy).
I've set it up before and got it working using PHD/Eqmod a microsoft web cam taped to my 32mm eye piecethough my 8" newt, dont laugh.... hey, I said dont laugh it worked just fine.

Last night i thought I'd try and tape the web cam to the finder scope, (hey I said dont laugh) and see if I could get it to guide.

After much futsing around with the calibration in the brain I settled on about 8500, default is 750 he he he. It would calibrate but man it would take about 15 minutes. The more I increased the calibration the longer it would take. I assume this is because the magnification is smaller and therefore the movement is smaller.

So my question is how long does it take you to calibrate phd on a star?

thanks
