Images which are orthogonal are simply ones which will be parallel with the earth's horizon when the object transits the meridian.

Ah, ok - sounds simple enough, thanks!

@alacantSo in the setup for PHD, I was selecting my zwo camera and then using "on camera" for the mount. Am I supposed to select EQMOD ASCOM HEQ5/6 there then instead? I tried this before but couldn't get it to work. I have my zwo guide camera attached to the mount via the autoguider port and also to the laptop.

Do I disconnect the autoguider cable, then find a specific EQ6R driver, and just run the zwo using the single lead from camera to laptop, which in turn is connected to the EQ6R via its usb connection?

Hi. Remove the guide cable which connects the camera to the mount and connect the mount directly to the computer using this. Leave the camera usb cable connected to the computer.
