Hi!
What should my goal be for guiding accuracy and are there any simple tweaks to dial it in?

Dialing in Guiding Accuracy on ZWO Asiair Pro
Well written Engaging
Hi,
Your total RMS error should be less than your system's resolution. Also you should try to keep your RA and DEC RMS errors as equal as possible. Otherwise you may still get elongated stars, even if your total RMS is less than your resolution.

Backfocus affects guiding accuracy; adapter may need adjustment.

Camera tilt causes guiding errors; hocus focus helps diagnose.
Sensor tilt
Hi guys. I own a 2600mc pro which came straight from zwo with tilt on the sensor. It is my first astronomy camera and i don’t have any other to compare with. Its quite noticeable and i dont seem to be able to fix it and it is something that bothers m...
Sensor tilt directly impacts guiding accuracy and alignment.
Short exposure settings for the ASI533
I am doing a competition with 1 second exposures, and am still learning about the Gain settings. I typically run 100 as the recommended setting for my longer exposures. I somewhat understand if the gain is adjusted from 100, it impacts the dynamic ra...
Gain settings affect image quality and guiding performance.
