Hallo Astrobin members,
i have a issue that's causing me problems. But first my setup: TS-UNC 8" Newtonian, HEQ5 modded, ZWO OAG with 120MM mini, main camera ASI294MC Pro, Software APT 4.00 , PHD2 2.6.11 using multi star guiding. The problem is as following: When guiding and clouds causes to loose the guide star, PHD or something causes the mount to shift/drift and i am losing the framed target. I must then first recenter my target, prior to continuing the image session. Polar aligment is about one arc-minute. I have tried different setting regarding star mass detection, even disabling it. I have increased the size of the search region, but none of this setting seem to help. Am i missing something? does anybody have an idea what would be the cause of this problem?
