Here are a few screen shots of my attempts at guiding last night. Camera is a QHY5 using a EQ6 which has been just replaced with a new one as old one was sent back because of same guiding problem. All leads have been replaced.Calibration seems to be alright but as soon as guiding starts I get LOW SNR I have tried numerous times changing parameters within PHD only to get same result. You will notice that Dec does not want too begin guiding and RA starts off quite a drift When I first started guiding (6 months ago) there was no issue,this problem has just started, to a point where I cannot guide at all. I believe the stars I am using are neither too bright nor too dull. Any thought Camera maybe ???
Thanks Kepp
