Yes, but to be clear, that was for a different manufacturer. Losmandy mounts can run PEC and PPEC (or any other guide algorithm) without problems.

?

The best thing to do is head over to the PHD forums and ask the authors of PHD directly if they have any questions on this

My memory is not what it used to be but..... You're right about Dec (Dec usually doesn't move anyway) but I distinctly remember (memory corrupted?)? they said there have been instances where pec and predictive result in worse behavior.?? So caveat emptor : let the user beware.? So,? if anyone has questions,? I urge them to read up on predictive.?? Users can decide to enable both or only one.

Chuck that's not quite correct, in fact PHD recommends in most cases the in-mount PEC is complementary to PHD guiding

PHD has predictive PEC, which watches the worm period and models periodic error behavior. if you enable mount-based PEC, it will simply model less error (usually the harmonics of the primary are what's left)

?

You may have been thinking of DEC backlash compensation? which you don't want enabled in the mount? it does indeed fight with PHD's auto backlash compensation, and PHd's is much better at doing it. regardless, you'd want to pick one or the other there not?

My reading of the phd2 manual says you can use pec but they don't recommend it.?? Apparently,? phd2 has an active corrective function (whose name escapes me at this second)? that is similar to pec.?? They state plhd2 can fight their active predictive algorythm.? Phd2 wants you to run their automated system and claim its superior to peck.

I was thinking that number in PHD2 would be lower with PEC, assuming other issues being equal, (I think mine is mirror shift.)

I think I am hoping to shortcut measuring PE, with no luck. (Using PHD2 functions.)

I just need to run PEMPro again, but I'd rather take pictures.

With the Moon getting bright again, I'll take advantage to run PEMPro...

Thanks for the info everyone!
