PHD2 EQASCOM_RUN PulseGuide Settings HEQ5

[Andyb90]

Hi Everyone,

I'm getting ready for a first attempt at guiding with PHD2 and EQASCOM, using my HEQ5 mount.

I can see in the EQASCOM_RUN window there are the following settings for pulse guiding.

RA Rate : x0.1

DEC Rate : x0.1

Minimum pulse width (msecs) : 20

DEC Backlash (msecs) : 0

Above are the current values in my EQASCOM_RUN window.

For the first go at guiding should I just leave these settings as they are and just tweak if needed. Or should I definitely change 1 or more of these values?

I would start with Gulding assistant in PHD2 and take it from there. It save me a lot of work.
