Re: Initial Setup of the Mount
The tripod part is, but the part that holds the mount is not ¨C the holders for gemini is in back

I prefer to post links because I learned in the 1990's how images can really bog things down. (Modam-n

Re: Is PEC maintained regardless of shut down process?
anthony i would not rely on PHD for this, as PEMPro can be run and the
results more accurately filtered. i'd just do that with and without PEC on

Re: Is PEC maintained regardless of shut down process?
To be clear, I have been looking to PHD2 report results, either the Log Viewer or the results from Guiding Assistant, to try to see if PEC is still working as it did upon initial

Re: Is PEC maintained regardless of shut down process?
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

Re: Is PEC maintained regardless of shut down process?
I should also add there is one mount company (not Losmandy) that has a poor mount-based PEC implementation, and apparently does not work well with guiding. for those poor souls, that have to disable

Re: Is PEC maintained regardless of shut down process?
Chuck that's not quite correct, in fact PHD recommends in most cases the

Re: Is PEC maintained regardless of shut down process?
I was thinking that number in PHD2 would be lower with PEC, assuming other issues being equal, (I think mine is mirror shift.)

Re: Is PEC maintained regardless of shut down process?
PEC isn¡¯t going to fix drift. It is designed to reduce the small excursions due to tiny errors in the worm surface that cause tracking errors.

Re: Is PEC maintained regardless of shut down process?
So I ran PHD2 Guiding Assistant with and without PEC turned on, and got only marginal difference in total drift error in RA over 250 seconds, (a little more than a worm cycle). That has contributed to
