Hi everyone
EQ6 fighting a PE of 122s
I'm trying to migrate from PHD2 to the internal guider. Using smart, it's OK but the PE is still present. With PHD2 I successfully used the PPEC RA algorithm to reduce the PE
  • What's the closest ekos-guide has to that?
  • Is there any doco on the various algorithms, smart etc?
TIA and clear skies,
Steve

The algorithm listed in guide are technically star-detection algorithms and do not really affect how guiding operates. The internal guider is pretty simple and not as complicated as PHD2. There is no PE optimization or the other fancy stuff that PHD2 has.

OK, thanks.
To connect to phd2 instead, do I setup a new profile, check phd2 for guiding and leave the guider field blank? IOW, I specify the mount and imaging camera only...
TIA
