PHD calibration errors


Recommended Posts

Setting up PhD for the first time this evening. I've run the calibration assistant and I get "poor" result. When clicking on "explain" I get the box below. Is there anywhere to see what is actually said. I can't expand that box so I can read it, as im not really sure what to do from here ?

Hi Chubster

I haven't got the latest PHD2 dev yet, so I can only guess that you click on each explanation to expand it.

The Cal was accepted, but Advised that there was an Orthog error that might be worth improving.

That might be due to a large  Polar Alignment error ?

Or failure to clear Dec Backlash before Cal ?

The RA and Dec Guide Rates that PHD2 measured might have been noticeably different from each other.

Hard to tell what's going on without a GuideLog to evaluate.

Hi

If your images are ok, perhaps best to leave it as it is. 

If not, maybe post an example, along with the logs with which it is associated. We then stand a much better chance of being able to help.

Cheers
