PHD2 problems since V2

Rho2017

For the first time since the v2.0 upgrade I am getting PHD2 max Dec duration and max RA duration errors. I then get the message "Even using the maximum moves, PHD2 can't properly correct for the large guide star movements in Dec. ...". Version1.9 default settings worked without any problem. I'm using the mini guide scope 30F4 and ASI120MM Mini ith a CGEM v1, same as with v1.9.

Anybody else having PHD2 issues since the v2.0 release?

Is there any way to revert back to v1.9?

Hi,

I had that problem, and I figured out my polar alignment was too far off (I kicked the tripod)... I realigned and everything worked as before. (It's a thought)

chaosnix68 Not the problem in this case. I have done that though. That would definitely cause guiding issue.

chaosnix68 I tried again tonight, and my polar alignment was really off. PA was just not working. I need All Sky Polar Alignment because trees block everything North. I know where Polaris is in the tree though. PA had me pointed significantly to the west. When I tried PA again the initial measurement indicated I was 14 degrees to the west of NCP. I could never get it to work. It worked well in v.1.9. I gave up. I'll just wait until ZWO publishes an update that addresses these problems. They need to spend time of these items rather that the ZWO version of AstroBin.

I can't even upload a log file without creating an account. I tried to create an account, but I was told I already have one. I then tried the forgot password route, but when I typed in the provided verification code I was told the e-mail was invalid.
