A few mounts will dec guide better with PHD2 and the mount's Dec Backlash Correction on.

But usually they fight each other.

"I will keep in mind to use guiding DEC south only."

The direction to guide Dec in one direction is entirely dependant on the balance and where the mount is pointing.

Might be south when you did the GA run, but might be north when you swing to the target.

On target, switch dec guiding off and note which way dec drifts after a minute.

Set dec to guide in the opposite direction.

But ideally adjust the mount's Dec backlash.

Thanks Michael, I will do!

Have you tried adjusting the balance at all? If you have it perfect at the minute then try going one way or the other and see what happens, basically try tweaking it to see if you can improve things before turning things off.

Thanks, yes I have no major change!

Thanks, 

Probably will be good to consider fixing the mount as much as I can in the mean time I will keep in mind to use guiding DEC south only.

Hi to all!

I being looking to improve my mount behavior due to backslash.

To do so I have looked in to the AR and Dec backslash adjustment but found out that there is a delay (aprox 2 seconds)  in the motors to move and have seen that I can have much better response with the CGEM backslash adjustment, but following the PHD2 I do have to disable it, does anyone in this forum know why would I have to disable it?

I share my PHD2 guiding assistance report! any comment, help or feedback will be appreciated.  (I have posted this issue in the  open PHD guiding, and  other)

Regards.

Hi, to all!

Hope all are doing well!

New in the forum and hope I will be able make lots of friends and be able to share my very limited experience. 

Looking forward to engage with the group.

My best regards to all.
