Re: Yup its the 75 second cycle
When I tighten the outer block (so both blocks are tightened) I have the standard non-spring-loaded Losmandy G11S mount.? It gives me an extra harmonic of 225 seconds (=3*75).? Hmm. I can't get the

Re: Mount takes off when guiding is turned on
Michael, I would agree except I did a calibration in PHD before I tried guiding so it didn't reuse an old calibration. I'll try again tomorrow night... Fingers crossed. Jim

Re: Mount takes off when guiding is turned on
That's an interesting puzzle. If you chose a hot pixel, the PHD2 should never have calibrated, as the "star" would never have ever moved. If it calibrated then locked onto a hot pixel in the image

Re: Mount takes off when guiding is turned on
Ok...I just kicked myself in the you know what. I should have thought of that but I didn't. You're probably right on with the hot pixel. That would explain everything. On a side note. I had just went

Re: Mount takes off when guiding is turned on
Hi Jim that's not a lot of guiding there, but my guess is that you are locking on to a hot pixel? there is a lot of lost star events, and this is a good example: [image: image.png] make sure you do a

Yup its the 75 second cycle
Just testing with RA and DEC control turned off in the guider. Running with multiple stars. And to be sure that OnStep has no secret cross talk, disconnected the DEC cable.? After reading about the

Re: Mount takes off when guiding is turned on
There's probably not very much info in the logs. Since the mount started to act up in Metaguide, I stopped that software and started up PHD2. I did a calibration run where I was pointing and not near

Re: Mount takes off when guiding is turned on
Jim, My guess #1: Your PHD2 is using an existing calibration and it's the wrong calibration for that part of the sky. Maybe you did a meridian flip....? Do this: At the top PHD2 menu under tools

i don't know. i don't know what "RA is taking off" means yes some PHD logs would help -- Brian Brian Valente portfolio brianvalentephotography.com <http://brianvalentephotography.com>

Re: Mount takes off when guiding is turned on
Brian, it's not just in one program though. It does the same thing in Metaguide, which is my main guiding software. I went out again and checked and it's RA that's taking off. I'm taking 30 subs now

Re: Mount takes off when guiding is turned on
Hi Jim that's not a lot to go on - It would be better if you uploaded guidelog to look my wild guess would be you have reverse dec enabled in PHD? when it shouldn't be -- Brian Brian Valente portfolio

Mount takes off when guiding is turned on
All of a sudden my G11 has decided to take off when I activate software guiding. It tracks fine and I get 30 second images with not star trailing but as soon as start guiding in PHD2 or Metaguide the

I want to get to 0.5" RMS total but 1.2 is the closest I got, with the 12".? I'm looking at mechanical problems first.? The DIY spring loaded worms seem to work but I will check again, need to check

I don't believe so (read somewhere to not allow that) but will check again.

Hi Brian, that's not the same graph that you showed earlier.? Never mind though, I am just a disturbance trying to learn how to debug calibration problems.
