So I'm currently using a Canon 1200D and 55-250mm efs lens.
The Arcsec/pixel of the dslr and lens at max FL is around 2.21"/pixel (I used FL of 400mm as my dslr is a crop sensor - 250mm x 1.6 crop factor)
my guide scope and guide camera combo comes up with 4.77"/pixel.
So I guess I'm within your guidelines of the imaging vs guiding pixel scale.
I've attached my guiding graph below. This is probably the best guiding i have got yet with the mount. (Is it good? Could it be better? If so how? )
I'll have a dig for the guide log of that night also.
I know I haven't touched any settings in PHD2 yet so I'll be sure to set that Auto restore option. I am using Ascom Pulse guiding btw.
And when you say calibrate at the meridian first? I start my first drift alignment from there yes? or is there some calibration function in PHD?
