You can of course guide with PHD2, but it will not interact with Prism. Prism is designed to not require external software. I haven't got access to my Observatory PC right now. Is there a native DSI driver in Prism? Is there a Ascom driver available? I had problems with a Lodestar CCD guide camera and changing the driver in the control panel sort the problem.

I found this in the Prism French forum. (view in Chrome) So the DSI does (or did) seem to work with Prism. The guy had access to the camera and its controls.

I found the Prism guider worked very well once setup. Overall Prism works well. Saying that I have moved on to using Voyager now.

Hope you get sorted.

Ive been in contact with Hamza regarding this issue and he has been very helpful with me but we still could not get it working. The software has a built in driver for the DSI-III but I have the II. When I try to load that driver it just errors. Also this camera is so old it doesn't appear to have ascom drivers. Ive basically given up on that camera as it was not a big loss as I got it for free but still it would be nice if I could have got it working. I will take a look at that website and see if I can find  any more answers. Thanks

I know this was asked already but is it possible to use PHD2 with prism, I know prism has a built in auto guiding software but unfortunately it does not work with my Old DSI-II while PhD2 does.
