Hello. I chose the Sky-watcher GTi as my mount moving from planetary to DSO imaging. After some research I was sure that I would use these 3 softwares; sharpcap for aquisition, pdh2 for guiding, and synscan pro for controlling the mount. I have had success with sharpcap and synscan, however, through my best efforts of going two different routes to get pdh2 to communicate with my GTi - ASCOM and st4 connections - I have learned that the sky-watcher driver just doesn’t work? I have attempted to do further research and have discovered ‘shoestrings’ as an alternative means for connections. Has anyone with the same issue managed to get pdh2 and synscan talking at all? Are there alternative guiding softwares, perhaps even ones specifically for sky-watcher mounts? I would preferably like to stick with pdh2 due to its drift-align feature, which is useful to me given I don’t have a view of the pole, and polar scope alignment is tricky here in the southern hemisphere.
Any inputs are greatly appreciated…
