- Set calibration steps to 18; Declination to 0 degrees
- Select Star on Ecliptic; less than one hour from Meridian
- Nudge north for 20 seconds using PHD2's manual guide.
https://openphdguiding.org/PHD2_BestPractices_2019-12.pdf - Run Guiding Assistant
- Accept recommendations if any from the Guiding Assistant
- Start Guiding
- Adjust Dec
- Be conservative with adjustments
- Keep min-moves larger than the typical seeing fluctuations – Dec guiding should be conservative (larger min-move) –
- Adjust RA
- RA guiding can be a bit more aggressive (smaller min/move) to correct periodic error
More about lessons learned and planning but also to share my astrophotography
