Guiding is now worse than ever. Help!

FivebyEagle

Hey everyone,
I recently moved to the ASIAIR Plus , and ever since, my auto-guiding performance has taken a serious hit. When I was using PHD2 on my laptop, I consistently guided at 0.3-0.5" RMS arcsecond error.
Now, with the ASIAIR, I’m stuck in the 1.35-1.9" range—I haven’t been able to get below 1.0" since making the switch.

Nothing else in my setup has changed—same AM5, same guide scope, same seeing conditions—just the ASIAIR. I’ve gone through the usual troubleshooting steps (balance, calibration, aggressive settings, min/move, etc.), but I can’t seem to get my guiding performance back to where it was.

I've also liberally used the Search function here to no help.

Has anyone else run into this after switching to the ASIAIR? Any tips, settings adjustments, or workarounds that helped? I’ll attach a dropbox link to my guide logs below for reference.

Thanks in advance!

FivebyEagle I really hope you are able to solve this issue. (ZWO, please look into this). I note that you are using an AM5 mount. I have spoken to another ASIAIR user that had this EXACT issue (comparing PHD2 with ASIAIR) but was using a non-ZWO mount. I also have an ASIAIR Plus (and two ASIAIR mini's) and have guiding issues with a non-ZWO mount. (I have not tried with PHD2) I have spent a lot of time trying to tune/improve the non-ZWO mount, thinking that the problem was with the mount until I spoke with this other user who advised that when guiding with PHD2 his guiding was MUCH better that with the ASIAIR and the same mount.
