PHD2 crashes!

[SECSIO]

Hi

Last night I gave a try for autoguiding for my first time. I used a ZWO ASI 120 MM Mini + Skywatcher Finder Scope 9x50. When I starded PHD2, everything seemed ok, I focused the camera, autoselected a star and finally when I pressed "Auto-guide" button, PHD2 crashed... It happens every time I start autoguiding when PHD2 tries to place the selected start in the center of the drawn pattern in the screen. I think it must be a communication problem whith my mount, I use ST4 communication port of the camera.

Have you selected On-Camera in the mount selection tab? Tried a different pc/laptop/cables?

Hi Secsio

Not sure what you mean by "crashed" ?

It closed down?  Locked up ? Camera output disappeared ?

Is this definitely the first guiding session, is PHD2 trying to use an old Calibration ? Hold down Shift when you hit the Guide button, to make a new Calibration.

The autoselected star should already be in the centre of the PHD2 "square", which should then change to yellow cross-hairs on the same star as Calibration starts ?

Post your PHD2 GuideLog so that we can check your settings etc, should be in the PHD2 folder.
