I have iOptron CEM60EC mount and I tried configure guiding using:
  • TS Guiding Scope 80mm
  • ZWO ASI 174MM Mini Mono

But I had problems with configuration, PHD2 received messages about:
  • too small move in RA (during calibration process)
  • or if calibration passed I got inconsistent configuration result

Result mount with enabled guiding worked worst than on builtin encoder only with disabled guiding.
I would like to ask has anyone have had experience with guiding mounts with builtin encoder in one axis such as CEM60EC?
I would like ask about some guiding tips for this mount? How to treat encoder?
What to setup guiding speed for RA and DEC axis?

Do You calibrating nearest meridian and around equator?

Check the belt tension in mount.
