It really doesn't matter if you bin or not. Pempro will ignore the noise component of the seeing. Just run enough cycles to average out the true PE curve if the seeing is not perfect. Rolando

Hi Mike, Either would be okay, but the finer resolution (.63"/pixel) should provide more accurate data for PEMPro to work with. -Ray Gralak

Have a question about training a PEC curve on my1600GTO. Running a Planewave CDK 17/SBIG STL6303E camera. Unbinnedimage scale is .63"/pixel. I have always gathered data binned 1x,and have gathered

Thanks, Roland. Sadly, the drifting tracking error has occurred in at least four imaging sessions, with the observatory powered-off between. I don't think I restarted MaxIm after I noticed the

Great! I have no intention of using multiple mounts at a time--the 2nd mount is the club's mount. Apparently regardless of whether I use APCC or not I will have to change the AP-V2 setup, but I don't

You are welcome to use APCC on more than one mount, but you should only use it on one mount at a time without another license. Unless both mounts are operating simultaneously, there is no

Hi Stephen, It turns out that the best way to start the program is to first go to the Guiding Assistant and let it analyze the sky conditions, do a Dec backlash test and other stuff for about 3 - 4

Some awesome results again, Roland! It looks like you have found the magic combination of settings for the Mach2 / PHD2 combo. Once I get decent skies here again in San Jose I'll also be trying those

I have a Mach1 GTO (CP4) and have purchased APCC (Standard) which I've used with it and love it. Recently the possibility has come up of connecting a different AP mount (an AP900GTOCP3) to my laptop

Last night was poor transparency (hazy) but with good seeing, so I set out to try PHD2 again, guiding the Mach2 mount with 130GTX scope. I uploaded an image of M101 along with some of the screen shots

Suddenly I'm having autoguiding problems with my AP1200 and MaxIm DL 6.19, and I'm wondering if my ST-402 guide camera has gone south. I asked about this in the MaxIm forum, but I will appreciate any

Hello Mike, I believe the cycle is 6.4 minutes. Keith
