Drift-limiting exposure - how to use?

[rod...@gmail.com]

Hello

Maybe a stupid question...

How should I understand the value reported by the guiding assistant for the "Drift-limiting exposure" parameter?

Is it he maximum exposure I should use, or just the opposite?

Searched the FAQ and the group, but didn't find a good answer.

Thanks for shedding some light on it.

Hi  Rodolphe

This would be the maximum exposure time you would use if you were not guiding and wanted to keep your tracking within your min move setting

>>>Is it he maximum exposure I should use, or just the opposite?

Neither. 

For me, it's a measurement that is interesting in theory only. In practice we are guiding (and why we use PHD ;) ) so your exposure times aren't limited by this value.

it is more for reference
