Re: Can not disable PEC
Thanks Dale. Yeah I couldn¡¯t get PEMPro to change the PEC status at all and like you said, if selected in the Hand Control it would momentarily deselect and then reselect itself. I didn¡¯t try to

Re: Starlight Xpress AO Connections
Ah, in that case all you need is the same Ethernet connection and PHD2 will bump the mount using pulse guiding ASCOM commands. You don¡¯t need any additional connections.

Re: Starlight Xpress AO Connections
Hi Rick, I think that will depend on the software you use to control the autoguider. I see that SX AO unit has an autoguider output, so I assume the native SX software can use that port to bump the
