Hello fellow IISers. Hoping for some help.
I am new here as a thread submitter, but have been a member for a few months. I have also bought two significant bits of kit from memebers here via the IIS classifieds.
I also have a PM in to one of my seller's about this very issue I have re PHD, but I would like to cast the net wider to this community as I have been having issues to find 'clear and present' answers re PHD.
Let me clarify my setup:
Celestron Nextar 6" OTA
GSO 50mm f/scope and QHY5 a/guide
HEQ5 mount with skyscan
Canon 300D
Some basic Plossl's and bits
Small and curious dog, lazy fat cat.
The issue I am having is trying to understand PHD, hence this forum.
Everything else hardware-wise works fine (50mm F/S and QHY5 A/G still in the learning stage for me).
But I can't make heads or tails of PHD.
> Camera selection = no QHY5 option (yes, there is a QHY5 II, but I can't connect). In fact I can't connect camera via any option.
> Mount - what does this mean and why only 5 or so options? No HEQ5 option. Does 'mount' mean something else?
> Help options on PHD not very helpful. Hence these questions.
> I have downloaded V1.14.0 for W7.
Dont get me wrong, PHD looks and sounds great and many people use it, but why do I stumble at what I consider simple setup issues (ie: lack of connect options)
Why do I sound so dumb??
Thanks in advance, from me and Kami the dog. Cat doesn't care.
I know someone in this great group will have some insight, or links to other aleady proven solutions.
Kind regards - Jeremy
