Hello Mark,
?
Many thanks for the detailed explanation. Yes, my G11 was made in 2021 and has one piece worm blocks. Your suggestion makes sense to further isolate the specific cause of the guiding issues.?I will try these settings tonight:
Hysteresis: 0
RA Aggressiveness: 50
Guide Rate: 0.5x?
Record separate sessions for 3,2 and 1 second exposures
?
I'm a little unsure though how to turn off dithering. As I understood it, PHD only executes a dither command when requested from an image acquisition program (in my case Sequence Generator Pro). To generate the guide log I posted, I only used PHD to point the scope at the meridian and DEC 0, find a guide star and begin guiding. Do I still need to set the dither axis to 'RA Only' and scale to '0' to prevent obfuscating my results? Just making sure I'm not missing anything, so I can follow your suggestions.
?
That was a good tip to separate out the guide logs, one per file. I will do that before I post the next set of results. Thank you again for taking the time to explain this and help troubleshoot my particular issue, I really appreciate it!
