Re: PEC recording g11 Gemini 2

 

Hi Brian,

Absolutely, you should be using an autoguider rather than manually guiding. Last time I guided manually (to image or to program PEC) was in the early to mid 90's :) If you're worried about overcorrection, you can always lower the aggressiveness of the autoguider. As long as your DEC drift isn't large, I'd also turn off DEC corrections when programming PEC.?

The owners manual states that I can record PEC, by manually guiding for about 4 minutes, taking care not to overcorrect.

I¡¯m curious,¡­¡­ Can I use PHD2 (short 1/2 second exposures) to do my guiding during pec training, or does it have be done done manually.

I would assume that it makes no difference to the mount itself, so this is more of a ¡°has anyone done this with phd2 successfully, or will phd2 overcorrect, and cause more problems to the pec training¡­.



Thank you,
