RA Callibration Failed : Star Did Not Move Enough

poli74

Last night I set up my Celestron CPC and had tried to initiate guiding but I kept on getting an error message "RA Callibration Failed : Star Did Not Move Enough" Do I need to adjust the calibration setting from 2000ms to a higher value? What value do you suggest? What else do I need to adjust? I am using a 80 X 400 guide scope with a 224mc guide cam and I am getting good focus in the guide interface.

I am using a gain of 267 and chose a star with a HFD of 4.43. I have attached a screenshot of my the guiding interface with the error message.

Thank you.

Thank you.

You need to increase the Guide Speed under Telescope Page. 0.5x or 0.75x etc.
