Re: PHD2/G11T connection problems

Nice work Jeff
As I recall, you did a major upgrade into some really long focal lengths, so getting even this far is a pretty big step forward
Brian
After some feedback from Brian, I rounded up the proper cables for PHD2 and plugged them into the correct ports. I also readjusted the worm gear compression on the RA unit. Last night was the first chance I have had to?give
autoguiding a good shot. and it worked. The guiding graph was a bit rough at first, but it smoothed out quickly. I was able to take some decent short exposure shots?of
M13. The stars were round and there was no drift from frame to frame. I would call that a success!?
As I am getting more familiar with my new mount, I am starting to really like how well it is working. I was using my C8 with a .7 focal
reducer last night. Decent guiding with a 1400mm focal length is not a small thing. I have aspirations of using my C11 for imaging, also, but I am quite happy that the smaller scope worked so well for now.?
I am trying to get PHD2 working and then do some autoguiding. I have been able to do autoguiding, using PHD2, with my CGX-L mount, but haven't tried it with my Losmandy mount, yet.

What are you trying to accomplish?? Get PHD2 auto-guiding working -or- control the mount -or- start up the mount?
