Iam still working on it...i have dec curve making high peaks and the issue of doubled stars come back again.... iam not ignoring u at all i attached a pictureas evidence i followed ur advice ....what should i do further to prove that....anyway thank you

Of course i will post full detailed post about my progress in this autoguiding problem...that is in my plan from.the start....i was following suggestion here until i was shocked by your last reply....any way thank you

Most frustrating ?!!! Anyway ...if u refer to your last comment about the photos i posted here...you pointed to the usb cable and said it was st4 cable while it was the usb cable ....i alrealdy replied to u and confirmed that i had disconnectrd the st4 cable while the cable in the photo u attached is the usb not the st4 ....if you read my topic and replies well, u would get my point that the problem in guiding was in the st4 and also the usb cable ...the guiding didnt start untill i connect both...that was what my problem was....I find also your comment about my posts in phd forum or here very weird ...is there a problem if i try to find solution for my obstacles in different places ?????

Hi Astroandy....thanks alot for the link....it was really helpful....Last night i begin my imaging session for IC 4606 and RHO OPHICHUI region.. i made around 40 ×3 minutes exposure slots....i used canon 200 D with optolong l pro filter and Redcat 51 scope....i am using skywatcher eq 35 mount... I am doing strectching now for the stacked photo....But the colors still not appeared now for the nebulas .

Thank you....i found star alignment in pixinsight and it helps me 😊

I dont know what i did wrong to get this angry reply.... I notrd from start of this thread that i am totally beginner....things that you may consider very simple and logic maybe so difficult for me to get it .... i shared with u all information i could have....i even attach pictures for my implementation to your ( Steve - David - Budgie) advices and if you refer to your last respond it was about my picture and aligning RA axis to the leg of tripod....so i wander why you said that i dont share anything with you..... i Put my screenshot for stacking of image because i was so happy that i finally get a nice image with good guiding because of your advice... so i want it to share with you and let you know what i am through now....Any way you were a great help and support to me....i really appreciate all your advice and follow up with me ....Thank you Malc- c

Hello , Iam still newbie for imaging sky....I have done imaging session yesterday for IC 4606 and RHO OPHICHUI region.. i made around 40 ×3 minutes exposure slots....i used canon 200 D with optolong l pro filter and Redcat 51 scope....i am using skywatcher eq 35 mount... I am doing strectching now for the stacked photo....But the colors still not appeared now for the nebulas .

I have done good session yesterday for IC 4606 and RHO OPHICHUI region.. i made around 40 ×3 minutes exposure slots....i am doing strectching now for the stacked photo....But the colors still not appeared now for the nebulas .

Thanks for the video i followed the steps and here is the shape of tripod now ...its still away alittle but better than the first look.... I dont understand the Marking of Home position...could u explain it more ?

This is excellent explaining for PHD graph ...thanks alot.... i ll try to follow video suggestrd by Budgie and advice from Malc c to make the RA axis aligned with the leg of tripod facing north.

Yes it was in the home position and i didnt figure out why the RA is away from the leg of tripod...but it become so after polar alignment adjustment by sharpcap

Thanks alot for all ur advices...you are a great help and support.... I am trying now to align axis by spirit level but it seems the RA is alityle bit away from the center...maybe the degree circle is not accurate

Thank you so much ... but i am still beginner and dont understand the meaning of X: 400 setting 😅 ?!

Iam doing now imaging session and i took some photos to record what i was doing . I started by making polar al9gnment with sharpcap i got excellent result but i want to say here that the final step in sharpcap alignment is to rotate the RA axis by 90 degrees then make the adjustment untill u get the excellent PA ...after that i returned the RA axis to 0 angle but it gives me Fair PA result so should i depend on the 90 degrees result or the 0 degree result ? I made new profile in PHD and new cal9bration i got perpendicular axis so i slew to my target which is IC 4606 and start guiding there.... i got the best RA and DEC curves through the last 4 weeks ....i know it may not be good bit its better than any curves i got before....i changet MINMO and Aggression values but i found the default setting is the best for my curves..... i start imaging the exposure was for 3 minutes i got very nice round stars.

Thanks David....i use sharpcap for polar alignment and got excellent result...i dont know why it gives me that large error in PA with PHD. I adjust the usb cable for guide camera as u suggested.
