Subject: Guiding on a Sunspot

Sorry guys, I'm playing the stupid card. I can usually figure this stuff out, but I must be over complicating things.

It all works great except I cannot get this darn thing to guide. I've got the GPUSB cable, and it manually corrects the mount just fine using the software keypad. I'm using a CGEM mount and a Lunt 60 Ha Solar Scope with an Imaging Source DMK 31 AF03 monochrome CCD camera. I've tried to follow the instructions, but I seem to be missing something. (maybe PHD, and the SSAG spoiled me) As of now, I'm having to do sight corrections using RDP and my Ipad while doing other things inside. The Applescript works just fine, so does the movie conversions, etc. Great work Milton…..Brian was right. Now if I can just get over this guiding learning curve, I can pretty much fully automate my Solar imaging sessions.

Thanks in advance!
