I thought there were settings in the EQMOD window that seem to have an effect on the guiding?

Yes, me too....

To be fair you did send me a message after I had put on the forum that I had paid for it, so what could I do?

It could be the lead, but I'd say it's an issue with settings somewhere?

I'm using APT/PHD1, and just used the windows drivers, Windows 7, when I plugged in the USB cable, but I read that you need to download prolific ones of their site.

Thats very true and i wasn’t criticising.. as many people use them with great results, i dont think it will be that as all other functions are working via the same cable..

Aplogies William, my post came across wrong, in work and it was a short quick message between pts

Using the ST4 connections and PHD; the only thing EQMod could influence would be the guide speed (Check EQmod Ascom Setup Pulse v's ST-4)

"Autoguider Port (ST-4) Guide rate" - this is usually set to x0.5

Pulseguiding is what I am using, no doubt something simple is wrong.

Hi there. I do not know if this will help. As I am learning and reading about PHD2, found this guidelines from the PHD2 guys.

Once you have connected the mount and before you calibrate or guide in PHD2, update your EQASCOM settings

• set the RA and Dec Guide rates to a high value like 0.9x. We recommend at least 0.5x.

• set the minimum pulse duration to its minimum value,

• disable Dec backlash,

• disable pulse width override.
