Calibration is the process where your guiding software teaches your mount how it reacts to correction commands. This step is crucial for accurate guiding.
How it works: The software moves your mount in each cardinal direction and measures the response time and distance.
Tips for successful calibration:
- Ensure your mount is tracking during calibration.
- Disable backlash compensation if possible for smoother response.
- Check all cable connections and settings if calibration fails.
Proper calibration results in smooth, minimal guiding corrections and sharper astrophotos.
