Re: NEED HELP:PHD2 Guiding stops images from appearing on SC
Appears to have been a bad USB cable. Hoping now I can get focused stars in PHD2 to try guiding.

Re: NEED HELP:PHD2 Guiding stops images from appearing on SC
I am using a powered USB 3 hub. The cable is 15 ft (4.5 meters) that runs from the top of the scope down the pier to my laptop.
Thanks, I will check out the link you are referring to.

Re: NGC6992 Eastern Veil Ha/Oiii/Sii
Vey nice image!!! Thanks for sharing, Nick. Can you explain your PHD2 setup with SC? My setup is having both cameras connect to the same USB hub up on my scope which runs down the pier to my laptop. PHD2 guides but SC will not produce an image even though it is running. I explained this recently und...

Re: NEED HELP:PHD2 Guiding stops images from appearing on SC
Hi Robin Ugh!! That is exactly my setup. Both cameras are plugged into the same hub on top of the scope and then the single USB cable plugged into the laptop. I am not sure I can change this as my scope is over 12ft above ground in my observatory and this setup avoids any dragging cables. I guess my...

NEED HELP:PHD2 Guiding stops images from appearing on SC
I starting guiding for the first time and all seemed well until I noticed that the image on SC disappears when guiding is happening. What does that mean? Everything connected fine and SC is "working", that is running like normal but no image appears or histogram unless I turn PHD2 off and ...

Re: Cocoon Nebula - stacking multiple stacks
Exactly what I have been doing. I have the book as well - all 400 pages of it but the videos are excellent.

Re: Cocoon Nebula - stacking multiple stacks
ok- got it Pretty much what I did. Now that I know this works, going to try many stacks and see how it improves. Lots of new stuff going on as PI is massively complex with lots of options but I am not one to go crazy. I have no interest in 15-20 hr integration times and enjoy live viewing with frien...
