Hi Brian,
Oh, my bad. I guess we're blending our discussions.?
Regarding G11 guided PE performance, in the real world?I think once you are averaging below 0.5" RMS paint color matters and the phases of the moon, probably seeing limited but it seems to work the same in my SGV driveway too. It is not too hard to get down below 0.5" but to consistently be below 0.4" every night all night is, well I've never done it. The G11 will dip into the 0.3" range but it bounces back into the 0.4" range which seems to be good enough. If it was more important to me I would make more of an effort than selling a perfectly good QHY5L-II mono and buying a new ASI290MM mini but I'll see how it affects the PE and go from there, it should do better by my precise calculations. If it makes no difference I will have another data point.?
I have not really tested the G11 mount since Scott added the springs to my OPWs, too busy observing the underside of clouds and hanging out with the bad influences of Dr. D's and his posse. I missed a night of bad weather last weekend with the FC-100DZ but hope to be there with my DL for the next session with the DZ.??
Honestly the only reason for the change in autoguiders is so I can use the ZWO ASIAIR-PRO.controller to get all the goodies under one app so to speak. It might work or I might go back to RDPing into the NUC and the ASCOM ecosystem which is probably more flexible overal. But the allure of touch screen smart device control is powerful to the weak minded like me.??
