Phd2

Hello all

I am currently trialling Sequence Generator Pro and, as a result, have installed PHD2 for guiding purposes and am experiencing a couple of issues. Guide camera is a lodestar.

I cannot connect to my PMX using the SkyX drivers in PHD2 (eg The Sky controlled telescope). I get and error report saying the my mount doesn't support the required pulse guide interface. I have fiddled with the auto guider settings in TSX,changing to pulse guide or direct drive, all to no avail.

I can connect though using the Generic Hub (ASCOM) connection. Is this adequate?

Another issue is calibration. It doesn't happen and the message is couldn't calibrate in RA because the star doesn't move enough. Have check hardware and cables, all seem good and can still calibrate and guide in Maxim.

Any advice or views much appreciated.

Cheers

Mark

Mark,

Have you tried asking the question on the Open PHD forum? - the PHD2 developers are very responsive and helpful.
