Firecapture autoguiding

[northcanadian]

Hi all:

Still waiting for some imaging weather here...warm enough now but snowing and blowing.  It has been a long time (last summer) since I have been out observing/imaging.  Yesterday I spent time just cleaning optics and running the camera (asi 120mm through firecapture checking for blobs or smears on the screen , and can't see any.  Also hooked up the filter wheel and checked out RGB sequences etc.

Last summer I started to try out the Firecapture autoguiding feature  which looked promising but I did have a few problems with settings (to keep the image centered on screen).  I am using an asi 120mm and a 9.25sct on a CG-5 mount. Used the ST-4 cable (camera to mount)

I am just wondering what other members inputs are regarding Firecapture autoguiding? I think Firecapture is a superb program which is user friendly even for an old guy like me, and I would really like to get the autoguide feature resolved.

 

Cheers
