I am loving that photo olly, as soon as I work out how to load it in it will be there
Sorry I should have been more Clear, I have watched the mounts behaviour with out guiding, checked for snags, tried balancing and mount fails to calibrate if go to east heavy. One thing that does repeatedly appear is no east movement detected and no south movement detected during calibration. ????????
I was just wondering if eqmod could be used with my enhanced dc motor drive to analyse and improve the mounts behaviour to eliminate that as the cause of my bad guiding.
I see that there is a st4 to usb cable that can be got, and that the option is there to use it in phd2. st4usb (ascom). Wondering if the method will even work for my cheap mount, and if so is it an improvement over oncamera method I am currently using with mixed results.
Strong possibility I have much to learn about phd2. Aswell lol. Just dont want to buy the £34 cable if it doesn't work on my mount.
Thanks to olly and thanks to anyone else who might be interested in my nightmare lol.
I have attached a log that I saved that was the best guiding in ra I have achieved had to turn dec guiding off. Would that be considered acceptable for the eq3-2 mount? I think I would be happy with that if I could consistently get my graph that nice!!! I will attach a log of typical bad guiding, the guiding I normally have to deal with, it just doesn't work most of the time I'll go hoke a bad log out here.
