re guiding with ss2k

Matt.

Try page 67 in your SS2k guide,re motor parameters,there is a setting 1 to 3 re motor shudders,I am trying to get my SS2K auto guiding,but having a job getting things to run smoothly.Have noticed the dec 'shudders' periodically-its apparently caused by normal variations in the motor characteristics-so the manual says.

We did extensive testing and tweeking last night,and although the PHD graph was very good,occasionaly there was a dip in dec,and we are wondering if this was a tiny motor 'shudder' that slightly throws guiding and ending up with 'eggs'

I am going to adjust the motor parameter (dec)from 1 up.and see if that makes any difference.So seeing that your using a SS2K and its motors-might be something to look at.

Look forward to seeing how this goes for you.

cheers Chris
