PHD 1.6.2 - with pointing overlay tools

[g__day (Matthew)]

Now I really like what Craig has added under the tools section

Also I note DSLR Shutter has script files so you can do a run of 10 exposures of increasing duration e.g. 16, 32, 64, 128 secs etc

Very well received!

Awesome what a great addition to DSLR Shutter. Will look at PHD also.

It also looks like nudge tools have been added to PHD under Tools -> Manual guide (which is an on/off toggle switch)

If this does what I hope it will its a huge boon for me!

Chatting with Craig yesterday he confirmed at present you have to manually cut and past script commands into your script execute, for instance.

Andrew, PHD works like a charm.
Easy to configure, but if you change your scope position, it pays to recalibrate to ensure accuracy.
Also, some of "g__day's" earlier posts about pixel size help as well

Waiting for fine weather...
