Hi everyone

I'm seeing frequent loss of guiding after a dither. The requested dither is only 3px but the dither itself is much larger than that; the mount seems to be hit far harder than is necessary by the dither pulses e.g 35px for a 2.6px dither request.

Guiding is eventually recovered on another star but never has time to stabilise.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

TIA and clear skies,

Steve

Maybe post this in PHD Google group? Looks like all the requests are sent OK from Ekos side.

Yep, thanks. Will do.

Hi everyone
Here's Andy's reply:
@ Jasem. Andy also mentions this:
On a separate note, I see that some of the dither settles are failing because the settle timeout is too low -- 45 seconds. You should change this to a much higher value, like 180 seconds. The setting is in the Ekos here:

But there's only 2 digit entry. Would it be possible to have 3-digit entry there?

Cheers, HTH other PHD2 guiders and clear skies,

Sure, max value increased to 360 secs.
