I'm real tired of posting on this forum when you guys know the answers but don't post them. HOW DO YOU PEC TRAIN A CGEM STEP BY STEP!?!?

Hi Mark
Please don't get too stroppy with any of us that didn't provide you with the answer to a doubt you had that we could not read your mind of!!
I posted only because I thought that it best that clarification be given in regards to how one would do a PEC recording in relation to the PE of an EQ mount - yep, +1 to what Peter (Poita) said about asking - it surely would get a proper response when asked politely - I generally don't post here except if I know the answers to the queries asked or if I need to find out about something - I can read the manual (better known of as RTFM) for the CGEM if you really want me to do it for you and I'll then post a reply as to how you can do it because I personally have no experience with the CGEM
However in relation to your question: "What are you guiding on to train the PEC then?" I can explain to you that it is on a star of your choosing and then do a manual guiding (like the way it was done in those days before autoguiding became available) ie when you're tracking on that star you will need to use the handcontroller's 4 directional arrows to make all the corrections needed to ensure that the star stay spot on in the middle of your reticuled cross-haired EP all the time through several cycles of the worm rotations - the corrections that you make manually are recorded and it is this recording that gets used as the correction curve for the PEC process - I really don't know if this is how CGEM is applying the technique to its PEC feature
HTH
