Nina + phd2 error

[Anthonyexmouth]

Anyone here know why I might have started getting this error all the time. Started last night, haven't changed any settings.

 

"Timed-out waiting for the guider to settle"

What is your timeout set at ?
I think it may need to be long enough to allow for a re-calibration - just a thought.

Did you see if it was calibrating or not when it failed.

Have you gone through PHD's calibration routine ??

[Anthonyexmouth]

No calibration. It's a permanent setup, nothing gets moved. Been running fine. Came down last night early hours and a raft of the same error on the Nina screen. Never happened before

40 seconds, but it's always been set at that.

I keep getting the same error tonight at this very moment.
Had it several times now and it always happens when I dither and star is lost due to poor seeing or clouds passing so not sure if that could be your problem too ?

Maybe it was. Never seen it before. I was in bed when it happened so could have been cloud.
