Re: Gemini ASCOM Driver and NINA Settings when I change equipment

Re: Erratic Beeping

Re: Erratic Beeping
Is the beep supposed to be erratic? Also, it is now tracking the sun and it says RA Stall! at the top of the display. I think I have seen this is level 5.

Re: Gemini ASCOM Driver and NINA Settings when I change equipment
It would not affect *actual* guiding performance, but if your values are incorrect it might affect what it presents to you. PHD2 shows values in both pix and arcsec, so the arcsec values would be off
