noah4x4 - I think I've accepted that I was falsely sold the 4SE and supposed capabilities. From the off, I made it clear that I wanted something for DSO - Partly my own fault for not reading and getting advice prior. I have since invested in an Omegon LX3 - Although constrained in its crudeness, its a fun gadget that does what its supposed to do. Saving the pennies for maybe an HEQ5 and a shorter focal length tube..

The 'Hand Controller' does what it says on the Tin... whereas the Manual Guide has no affect.. Signal is obviously getting through via the ASCOM driver, but not being interpreted by PHD2 !!

Cornelius Varley - Hopefully, you will be able to see my attachment. Lockie Sadly, I think your'e stating where my mind has been for a while now.

🙄 Okay - - Camera: Altair Astro Camera ASCOM Driver Mount: Celestron Telescope Driver (ASCOM) - When I go to the 'config' for this, it gives me the Celestron Setup - COM4, Track Mode Alt Az - Show Hand Controller (Which independently does control okay)

Hi - Thanks for the prompt response. 1. Yes - I want to be able to use PHD2 for autoguiding (correction) - as the primary guidance is not as accurate as anticipated. The Altair is 'for the moment' going to guide, with a DSLR for imaging. 2. The 4SE has to ports (AUX and CAMERA) - with a supplied lead . . . I'm assuming this to be an ST4 (However, I'm trying to use the Handset via USB IN PHD2) 3. Handset is connected to the Laptop and is seen as COM4 The 'Celestron' ASCOM drivers kick in when I load, and show me a 'N.E.S.W' with speeds control selection - This drives the scope perfectly, so there's obviously signal getting through. I've also switched the tracking mode to 'OFF' as this was advised in another Forum (Somewhere) - But makes no difference at the moment regardless.

Hi - I wonder if you guys can help. I have a Celestron 4SE, with an ALTAIR385C3 Cam - I can not get PHD2 to control my mount (ST4 or Via HandController) I have the ASCOM drivers installed, and have tried setting with 'Altair Camera, and On-Camera for the Mount' and also 'Altair Camera ASCOM Driver, with Clestron Telescope Driver (ASCOM)' Getting a little frustrated as I'm sure you will appreciate.
