this event was recorded. A vertical slider to the right of the image can be used to
adjust the height of the secondary Y-axis for pulses corrections.
The Trace horizontal slider at the bottom can be used to scroll through the guide
history. Alternatively, you can click the Max checkbox to lock the graph onto the
latest point so that the drift graphics autoscrolls. The buttons to the right of the
slider are used for autoscaling the graphs, exporting the guide data to a CSV file,
clearing all the guide data, and for scaling the target in the Drift Plot.
Furthermore, the guide graph includes a label to indicate when a dither occurred
so the user knows guiding was not bad at those points.
The colors of each axis can be customized in KStars Settings color scheme.
Drift Plot
A bulls-eye scatter plot can be used to gauge the accuracy of the overall guiding
performance. It is composed of three concentric rings of varying radii with the
central green ring having a default radius of 2 arcsecs. The last RMS value is
plotted as with its color reflecting which concentric ring it falls within. You
can change the radius of the innermost green circle by adjusting the drift plot
accuracy.
PHD2 Support
You can opt to select external PHD2 application to perform guiding instead of
the built-in guider.
