Guiding a Mach 2 in PHD2 ( and NINA)
Linwood, thank you. I agree on skyx vs NINA. I run for years a PME with skyx and CCDAP so my first instinct has been to just continue. I was studying NINA in the background, yesterday I had to step to

Thanks Linwood, very helpful. Yesterday I was in hurry and very lucky to understand the basics for saving the night, the calibration happened almost by chance as I couldn't find a calibrate button :-)

tracking with APCC 1.9 doesn't work with skyx
hi Ray, I sent you the logs in the other thread. The tracking issue started before the modeling. I don't use skyx as planetarium only, but I use skyx camera add on for about everything: -I connect CCD

Which Camera?
I've just received my Moravian C3 61000 pro.IMX455 It is very well built, as the previous 16803 I used to own. download speed is fantastic. I kept my 50x50 filters I hope to try it soon...
