Hello 🙂
the setup i have used is
- Star adventurer GTI
- asiair mini
- Svbony 165 and
- Asi 120mm Mini
but i had lot of issue during my first guide night
my polar alignment was that:

but still lot of issue with the calibration using default settings, on the first try was so slow and never complete https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZkzDGi3r2Mc...calibration steps 2000, max ra/dec step 2000 , guiding speed 0.5 and Ra aggr 70% and Dec aggr 75%
the guide scope was overall in focus, is difficult say if was perfect and probably not without a bathinov mask but mine is so small as guide scope, but i have tried to have the smaller size of the star when i have did focus.
i have tried also to change position in the sky but still anything was very good and was very slow to calibrate.
i have tried calibration step 1000 -500 or 4000 but still struggly, is maybe better use 0.75 or 0.9 for my mount ?
how i can correctly read that graphic: https://i.imgur.com/rpP8I8R.png ?
in this stage i set north because i see lot of correction in Dec and still is not possible to see the red line on the graph:

after that i have tried to do lot of changes but still anything good, if anyone has the patience to give me some advice because it's really difficult to understand what to do.
Here some other video of the session:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_xZ15A3Wlg from that video that i'm watching again, i was back to calibration steps 2000 and max ra/dec step 2000 looks like better guide is at 0.75 or 0.9 speed and with good aggression level.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Dhh6P48GX4 watching that video looks like is so slow every time i start a new guide/calibration and i don't understand how is possible !
when I do the calibration, is it better to use 1 second as exposure ?
is the star better if brighter or not ? https://i.imgur.com/6Xl7I8f.png
It's always so unstable also there : https://youtu.be/_Dhh6P48GX4?t=332
i need some advice please 🙂
