I have a StarSense Autoguider, in the new CPWI there is an option to enable PHD2 server.  What does this do for me?

No idea, no one has ever mentioned it here.  You should probably ask Celestron.

What version of CPWI is this? I don't see any options for PHD2 server

I have version 2.5.5

It is under the StarSense configuration.  You have to have ver 35.10.23 firmware installed on the auto guider.

See attached screenshot.

I have reached out to Celestron.

sounds like a starsense-specific feature, not CPWI

Thank you for your help.

I was hoping someone else had the Autoguider and might have known how it works.  I'm new to this hobby.  I use N.I.N.A. and I was just wondering if it was some kind of interface that would let me use my StarSense camera in PHD2.  It appears feature rich. 

I have reached out to Celestron, I will see what they say.
