PHD2 Algorithms

[Starwiz]

Has anyone experimented with the alternative guiding algorithms that PHD2 provides and were there any benefits found over the defaults?

i.e.

Lowpass

Lowpass2

Predictive PEC

ZFilter

Thanks

I moved from RA hysteresis to predictive PEC and found a small but mesurable improvement.  A few sessions ago the Guiding Assistant recommended using Low pass 2 on DEC and again switching to this produced a small improvement. 

At present I am trying to record a repeatable  PEC curve in EQMOD to transfer to the mount's own permanent PEC playback. It hasn't been as straightforward as I'd hoped, mostly due to operator error!

switched to predictive pec ,graph looked better for me i wont be changing it back ,thumbs up from me ,takes a few worm drive cycles but bear with it.

Thanks both, I'll be giving that a try.
