Good morning all,

My Equipment is as follows:

Skywatcher EQM35 Pro

ASI533mc Pro -Main Camera

Redcat51 -Telescope

ASI120MM -Guide Camera

ZWO Mini Guide Scope 30mm

I am using NINA to control it all which uses PHD2 for guiding. I have done the guiding assistant and applied the suggestions but still am getting "phd2 is not able to make sufficient corrections in dec" I have attached a picture of my guiding and a cut down log, the original was to large so I took the first 17 minutes of the log and made a new txt file with that. Any help is much appreciated and if there is anything else information wise I will be happy to provide it.

Ken

Please use the provided UI tool in PHD2 to upload full log files to our server – we can’t do anything with cut-down or edited logs.

https://openphdguiding.org/getting-help/

Be sure the log files you upload cover the period when you had problems – the timeframes are shown in the UI.

I'm sorry but you've botched the parameters you input for the new-profile-wizard. You specified a FOCAL LENGTH of 30mm which is virtually impossible. We're not talking about the diameter of the objective but the focal length of the guide scope. So you need to figure out what the actual focal length is then re-run the new-profile-wizard and create a new profile.
