I have this problem also... The guide rate of RA is 1/3 that of DEC even though they are set to 0.9 on both in EQMOD?

Something wrong.

Hello all,

I have had a real problem with my AZ EQ6 GT:

I have found that the MOUNT guide rate in RA is 1/3 the guide rate in DEC.  EQMOD is set to 0.9 in both axis??  This seems to have happened when I tried guiding with AA& instead of the normal PHD2?

Is there a mount direct command to alter the RA guide rate.  Bit like the mount commands to dim the polar scope and set park position.

You know one of these serial commands the no one ever uses??

All the best

Hi, all..I need to change the AZ EQ6 GT pulse guide rate.  I know there are direct commands that I can send via EQDIRECT to change the pulse guide rate of the mount.  At the moment the max rate I can get is 0.9 x 15arcsec/sec.  I am told this is too slow for fast guiding using the new Astroart7 full frame guide system.

Does anyone know the mount serial command string to change the guide rate?

Thanks 

John
