I had to recenter a few times to prevent this from happening. As a result, my object started drifting out of the field of view. In dec to the north and in RA to the west (so, both positive). How does that work internally? The reason I am asking is that it does dither. Last night I started to use APT dithering. Stars are always oblong when I use PHD2 (hence my question regarding SkyGuide in another post. Probably due to my local seeing and/or my guiding setup. The drawback is that PHD2 is not as accurate as my RA driver. Long enough for me.īut.I do need dithering and have used PHD2 to facilitate that. With precision polar alignment (once a year), I can get pinpoint stars at 1 arcsec/pixel with a 10 minute exposure. This is a very early example of absolute encoder precision and it works fine. In my backyard observatory I have a mount with a telescope drive master unit. I am using it at my backyard observatory and I have used it in far away places on a nuc type windows computer with a tablet as wireless screen.
