Phd2 ra error?

[Calzune]

I did a good polar alignment with sharpcap pro (error around 0.2)

But still I have bad guiding.. I have high RA error, any tips?

Running guide assistant for a few minutes and accepting the results would be a good start. Need to really look at your calibration as well

I ran it for about 5 min before taking this pic.. And it did some adjustments. But maybe I have to do it for a longer time?

Hard to say anything from screenshots, a PHD2 Log that includes a Cal and Guide Assistant run could be instructive.

But from the screenshot, there might be a high frequency component to your RA Periodic Error, or it could be too fast exposure that is "chasing the seeing".

It's balanced, but I have a very light scope so it's hard to notice any difference if I adjust it forwards or backwards..
