Greetings,

Attached is the document How To Create a Baseline for Guiding Results Using Open PHD2. The results from following these procedures will allow you to evaluate your guiding results to determine what improvements may be needed or should be implemented.

Establishing a mount baseline is important for those just starting out in autoguided AP for the information needed to ask well-informed questions about how to improve your guiding if needed. And for those experienced users who have just received a new mount and want to baseline this new mount to better understand how to improve this new mount's guiding. This is something that I'm doing with my new iOptron CEM 60.

See the attachment link below.

Cheers,

Thanks, JT. This is a very helpful doc for initial setup - I highly recommend taking advantage of it. If I'd had it when I started with PHD2 maybe it wouldn't have taken 4+ years to get to the guiding results I have now

I am downloading for future reference (and for checking out the embedded links).

I tried to download the link but is it expired? I have a new CEM60EC and got pretty excited when I found this thread.

Same download result here.

Sorry guys, ( @John999R , @Ed217 )

I've changed the first post to show the link to the attached document.

Cheers,
JT

Thanks JayTee,

Just what I needed to get started in guiding. Got an OAG coming and SVBONY camera for guiding with the PHD2
application. I'll be back for sure.
