My G11 will do this on occasion with my QHY5 (same as the Orion) - if I do not connect/power up in the right order. In my case it is essential to have the camera initialised before connecting to the mount, if I do not do that I can get no response to the guide commands. Disconnecting and re-connecting the cable at the camera end will fix it...Try starting PHD and connecting to the camera first - once that is running connect the guide cable to the camera.
That order always works for me - but my kit is different - G11G - QHY5 - Guidemaster.

I have tried using the manual commands from PHD guiding but those don't seem to get through either.
Any ideas? |
