    I have used my finder/guider scope on 3 different scopes and 2 different mounts. Never had a problem with it but I DON'T use PHD2, I have used PHD 1.4 throughout and had no problem. Just my take on it but my guiding has improved since I got an iPolar PA cam fitted! Ron

    Hi, use 'Shift' and click the mouse on Connect..
  4. Ronclarke
    That's a decision you must make, try just dithering and process the image. Then add Darks and see if there's any improvement?? I find Flats more beneficial than Darks for my imaging although I'm just changing from a DSLR to a CCD cam! Ron

    If you use PHD for guiding, you can Dither and then you won't need Darks. Saves a lot of time, I have a library of Flats that I use also. Ron

    I'd like to know the answer to that and how to rotate the polar scope? Thanks Ron

    It was a variable spacer, 42 - 30 I think, check on Google.. Defo a Baader spacer. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Planetarium-VariLock-Lockable-Extension-Connector/dp/B005D7TAC4?SubscriptionId=AKIAILSHYYTFIVPWUY6Q&tag=duc08-21&linkCode=xm2&camp=2025&creative=165953&creativeASIN=B005D7TAC4

    I understand it to be 55 mm, I used an adjustable spacer from Baader to get this distance.

    Debayering for this CCD is RGBG which is different from the DSLR (RGGB) hope this helps..

    Hi, I ran this rig (HEQ5 + ED80) for 5+ years moving from visual to AP during that time. They both served me well although I upgraded the HEQ5 to a NEQ6 as i got an extra scope (SW 150PDS) foe AP. I also upgraded my ED 80 by adding a Moolite focuser which is a very easy and worthwhile upgrade. Hope this helps you to decide. Ron

    I'm starting to use this OAG to keep the weight down on my Adventurer mount at Kelling next month. Does this image train look correct? Comments please... Ron
