PHD2 baseline measurements instructions

[Boris Stromar]

Hi all,

I wanted to make at least a small contribution to PHD2 users. The Baseline measurements PDF document is now a few years old, so I tried to update it and make the design a bit more nicer to see and read.

Please take a look and let me know if there's anything I could improve.

Just one comment...If you use the Calibration Assistant automatic slew you may be too close to the meridian line to do a 15 minute Guiding Assistant run immediately afterward. Many programs (APT, NINA, etc.) have Meridian Flip settings and you may institute one since they are also connected to PHD2. Best to check your proximity to the meridian before commencing a long Guiding Assistant run.

Hi Boris.  This was a very nice thing for you to do and is most welcome.  I have a number of suggestions and corrections I'd like to offer but I probably won't be able to get to them until tonight.  One obvious thing, for example, is that you seem to be using the Calibration Assistant only as a means to point the scope.  That's only part of its purpose, the real idea is that you press the 'calibrate' button right there and you then get an assessment of the result.

Later,

Bruce

Ok, but this is probably a calibration assistant issue? 

Pozdrav,

Thank you Brian, I wasn't sure! I'll make a few changes that were suggested and post an updated version soon.

Hello everyone,

sorry for a bit of delay. Here's the new version with some changes that Bruce suggested.

Thanks Boris

I have a few suggestions, is there a markup in box? Or I can just email you directly

You can make notes in the PDF and send it somewhere, and of course you can send an email or even a message to this mailing list.
