Hi

The PHD graphs allow the DEC Guiding to be Off, Auto, North, South.
The Off function permits adjustment of polar alignment to be about zero or a drift towards the North or South directions.
My question is: Some say to set the polar alignment to about zero and use the Auto function for DEC guiding. Others prefer a slight drift in either North or South directions and then set PHD to guide South or North only respectively (thus avoiding crossing the backlash).
I would be interested in comments from those who have ACTUALLY USED
either or both of the above DEC guiding methods (or others for that matter) and their relative merits.

Cheers Peter
