I have done quick (rough) polar alignments using PHD to get me somewhat close before using TSX and its accurate polar alignment routine, usually do then when I head to my dark site and forget to take a compass so it's just guessing polar south and hoping it's close enough
One thing with PHD that I have not yet managed to figure out is how to magnify! Previously I have been using my guide scope (60mm F/3.76) and an ASI120mm for drift aligning as I didn't want to do it with my QHY9 (mechanical shutter kept getting in the way of short exposures). Now that I have a QHY22 I'll try using that for drift alignment.
Back to the question though. What I have previously found is that when it gets close, the punk circle becomes really small and very difficult to see what it is that I am doing movement wise. What I have wanted (like in EQAlign and TSX) is to be able to zoom in and see small movements. Is there any way of doing this or do I just have to guess and hope that I don't over or under correct?
Thanks to any of those PHD gurus
