Excellent, thanks for the video as it was really helpful.

It sure sounds like you Brian - having seen and listened to you on the Losmandy KZitem broadcasts. Brian, thanks very much for the tutorial. I noticed that there was an update to PHD2 that introduced delays and wondered if this is what Roland had suggested doing previously for encoder mounts, though I hadn't understood how to do it in PHD2 (I think he was referring to selections in Maxim, perhaps). The video explained everything very well and was a joy to watch and listen to - which is not to be taken for granted! One issue I noted. It does appear that in doing your new setup wizard, PHD2 grabbed the imaging camera with its 3.76 micron pixels (ASI 6200 or ASI 2600 ?) and not the guide camera which has 5.86 micron pixels (for the ASI 174 you identified as being used for guiding). You mentioned the danger of PHD2 picking the wrong camera if they are both from the same manufacturer and this has happened to me several times - and apparently to you as well. I now pay close attention to the pixel size that PHD2 reports to confirm that it's selected the correct camera - and I have the same combination of imaging and guiding cameras that you do - or as you suggest disconnect the imaging camera until the PHD2 profile has completed. Again, great effort and thanks so much for your worthwhile contribution. This string of recent AP videos is really top notch and VERY helpful! Cheers, Greg p.s. Is this Chilean rig with the 20in Planewave what you used for your fabulous Antennae Galaxies image?

Hi Greg, I’ve faced the same issue with PHD2 selecting the imaging camera when it’s the same brand as the guide camera. A solution is to use the native driver for the imaging camera in the image acquisition software and the ascom driver for the guide camera in PHD2. Or vise versa- ascom driver for main camera, native driver for guide camera.

You should clarify the instruction on using the rotator as additional equipment. The instruction provided is accurate as long as an OAG is the guide scope mechanism, as it is with the scope used in the video. If a separate guide scope/guide camera is used, the rotator option would not be selected as the rotator is typically on the imaging camera/OTA. A good example would be a rig using the Moonlite Express Nightcrawler focuser/rotator on a 150mm refractor that has a separate guide scope rather than an OAG.
