I think some more fuzzy logic is needed by PHDs brain, to compensate for seeing errors and backlash.

PHD has an enormous amount of user discussion and feedback into Craig Stark, easily triple the amount of discussion on the Maxim board - so as Craig gets time there is alot of push for where and how to improve PHD.

What I'd love to see is an experts side by side comparision of the two with analysis of results obtained to get rid of the subjectivity in this excellent question!

Hi Matthew - I have just downloaded PHD 1.12.1. Which parameters can you download on the fly and how do you do this? I have not yet had the opportunity of trying it on the night sky. Cheers Peter
