Re: Mount takes off when guiding is turned on

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

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
