Juan1983

Thanx!

I forgot to say that my mount is altazimuth and I don't have the equatorial wedge. Even so I have read in other forums that phd2 can also guide in this type of mounts. Thank you

Hello. My name is Juan and I am from Argentina. Luckily I found this post and I want to ask you for help. I'm going crazy trying to autoguide my LX90 Gps 10 inch with Audiostar. I have read all the posts on the subject but I can not find the error. I have windows 10, phd2, the latest version of the ascom platform and I have tried almost all the drivers from the following link: https://bitbucket.org/cjdskunkworks/meadeautostar497/downloads/ I use a guide tube of 80mm and 400mm focal length, a ZWO120MC camera as a guide camera connected by USB to my notebook and from the notebook to the mount I have a USB to RS232 converter plugged into a USB socket. I have been able to control the mount from stellarium or from meade autostar suite, but it is impossible for me to achieve guidance with phd2. Always the same problem, the star has not moved enough, Phd2 connects to the camera without problem the same as to the mount using Meade Generic Ascom. Even so when doing the calibration the mount does not move. I have tried manual guidance with steps of up to 5000 milliseconds, but my feeling is that the mount does not respond. The telescope is perfectly balanced and I don't know what to do anymore. I feel very frustrated having invested a lot of money. Argentina's economic situation is very delicate and any investment in astronomy and its accessories is very, very expensive. Please I would appreciate your help, you are my last hope. I apologize for my English but the last time I wrote something in this beautiful language was 20 years ago. Awaiting your comments. Thanks a lot
