Pages: 1 bouffetout professor emeritus Reged: 11/21/12 Loc: Canada PHD calibration each time I change object ?       #5559869 - 12/07/12 07:42 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   I have the Orion mini 50mm + starshoot autoguider kit but did not use it yet because of the bad weather... My question is ,will I have to wait for PHD to calibrate every time I change the target ?? And do you have some tips to dodge any problem that can occur ??? And what exposition setting is best to start with ??? Thank you all ! Maxx Post Extras:       rmollise Postmaster Reged: 07/06/07 Re: PHD calibration each time I change object ?

Oh, be sure you increase the cal steps--to around maybe 2000 or you will wait a long time for PHD to calbrate with the 50mm. Otherwise? Purty much plug and play for moi.
