Firecapture Planet Auto Guiding

#1

Post by bigfish »


Hello everyone,
I'm trying to dial in the settings on this Firecapture feather. Ive come up with these random numbers out of sheer frustration.:)
Ive almost got it working properly, just a few more days or months.
If anyone is using FC auto guiding could you please share your settings. I'm using an Orion SkyView Pro GoTo mount.
I understand settings will be different for other mounts, I'm just curious.
Thanks!

I never thought of using guiding during planetary imaging, I'm watching this thread with interest. I've always found that PIPP does an excellent job of centering the OOI (object of interest) in the center of the frame.

Cheers,
