PEC or No PEC with PHD Guiding
I have been having some trouble getting good guiding on my LX2ooGPS. I have been using PHD but have found my stars are not round and also have had some image shift between shots. My overall result when stacked is poor to say the least.. I have been playing with PHD settings with some improvement. I also noticed that PEC was turned on in the LX200 so I have now turned it off. I also noticed that the backlash in the Telescope was set to 91. I have now reduced that to 50 and will try again on the next clear night.
I would love some impute from other LX200 users on the settings I have changed. I really an not sure if I should even use PEC in the telescope at all? What is the best starting point also for Backlash? I think I am getting very close to sorting things out, but need some fine tune help.. I have been imaging around 5 - 7 mins.
Any advice would help guide me in the right direction...
Greatly appreciated
Mardy
