I'm going to spend some time tonight trying to change the values and see how it goes.
From the video, it does look like I can change the value as it's guiding, which is good.

thanks again for taking the video, much appreciated.

I had the same problem with my QHY5 when binning passed from 2x2 to 1x1. Don't ask me why but it happened.
I had to reduce the exposure to 0.5s as 2s was to much for guiding to recover. I know it's not the ideal, but just try to reduce the exposure to see if guiding sets faster.

The problem is getting good stars with only 0.5s.
That's why 2x2 binning would be very useful. I see you made a post with it.

Yes! I know but at some point it was working with ekos... that was the point I switched it to another camera.... the ASI120MM
The binning stopped working when the SDK was changed in indilib version 1.5 . After that it never worked again, at least for me.

0.5s isn't working for me, I have to do 1.5s minimum to get a picture.

That was what I was afraid of. Impossible to get stars....
So you can only mess with minimum pulse of EQMOD, mine was set as 50ms for RA and DEC but this is set on INDI control panel! Not in the guide parameters!

or.....
guide at 1.0x? Have you tried it? I remember doing it, not perfect but worked for a while.
Do you have backlash?
Can you calibrate at first time?

well well well, your tip about reducing the exposure is doing the trick, the plot is no longer all over the universe...
I'm using original values so now I can start tweaking them...

I always thought you needed more exposure time on the guider. weird stuff going on there...

Wooow that's a hell of a diference!!!

That's what I was thinking the first time I did it.... but not always the best!
So this confirms that the mount is not coping with the guide speed. It needs fast corrections.
