The premise is not that PHD2 algorithms don't work. It’s that by default they didn't work as well as MaximDL's. Being "free" and open source doesn't necessarily mean it's the best solution. It's

Hi Steve, I've uploaded my PHD2 Debug and Guide logs to https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/ap-gto/files/AP1100AE%20and%20PHD2%20DEC%20settings%20%28weird%20behavior%29/ in phd2.zip Just look at

thanks for the response. I saw Harley Davidson's conept on one his youtube videos. I like how the boxes stack and can be wheeled. Can't seem to find Bob Langland post about the foam inserts. Would

A really good way to figure out whether the mount is tracking is to do an analysis of several worm periods to see whether PE correction is working or not. Pempro is probably the most effective way to

No guiding. Never need to. Only doing short exposures- like 30-60 sec stacks I emailed George several emails with pics of the images and my setup hoping that would help. Very strange that this all

Unfortunately running different PHD2 algorithms on a mount that isn't showing any problems doesn't really tell us anything - I would expect that all the PHD2 algorithms will work on a well behaving

That sounds very promising. Right now we are having Monsoon season, rain until Friday, so no chance to do any imaging. Rolando

Are you guiding? If so, what is your guider graph telling you? Rolando

Hi Bill, Of course that's great. However, the algorithms are static and have to be selected. What happens if seeing conditions change? I know this is changing topics a bit, but it really goes to

Someone here suggested trying Lowpass2, and I am running that now. So far DEC looks pretty solid with very, very little if any corrections. From: ap-gto@... <ap-gto@...> on behalf of 'Ray Gralak

Maybe you have accidentally set the mount to track at the solar or lunar tracking rate? -Ray Gralak Author of APCC (Astro-Physics Command Center):

Hi Cytan, I doubt that very much. There are many other ways PHD2 could have a bug, for instance incorrectly calculating the calibration values it is using, incorrectly calculating or rounding up

Over the past 2 nights I am getting very bad trailing stars. I've checked all of the usual possible problems: balance, cables, and PA all seem fine. Clutches are tight and all connections tight. I

Hello, I believe you are slewing from a counterweight up position, perhaps because of some setting you are using for meridian delay. The momentary stop in RA then continue slewing in RA sounds exactly

Hello, I am controlling AP1100 with absolute encoders from C++ code by sending commands to virtual COM port. Everything seems to work, but one thing. I try to park the mount in position 3

That is amazing if they haven't added that it is such an important and trivial thing to implement. I moved on from Maxim about 5 years ago but when I was using it I had a simple

Good point. We'll give it a try. Rolando
