Hi Jasem,
did you have a chance to look into the guide logs? I tried to do DEC guiding in only one direction last night (forgot to record a log though). The guide graph and drift plot looked super perfect. However, suddenly the "Delta RMS threshold value exceeded" thing came up again. It visualizes as follow: in the drift plot all points are in the "green zone", nicely close together, and beeing corrected slightly towards the center if necessary. Then, out of the sudden the plot blinks white because it thinks the guide star jumped out of the box... In fact the guide start still sits nicely in the box in the captured frame from the guide cam. The response of the Guiding module is to try to correct that until the "Delta RMS threshold value exceeded" message comes, a new gude star is choosen and guiding continues. Also, it´s not reproducable since this comes either once in a while or with every second image... sometimes after dithering sometimes within normal imaging.
Any thoughts on settings I could still try? Any way I can tell Ekos to not overreact?
Alternatively, is there a way to stop/restart imaging when this happens? When I see it happen now I simply stop guiding (imaging is stoped automatically) and then start guiding and imaging manually. If that could be automated it would help at least a little (to calm down and not looking all the time on the guiding screen
Will try once more the DEC-one-direction-only guiding with PHD2 instead the internal guider but doubt it will be better.
Oh, one more thought - since I´m using a QHY 5L-IIc under Bortle 7 skies with a relatively high gain (activated dark), could it have something to do with the image quality of the guiding cam?
