Hey Bob, I've bought a serial to USB cable. I intend to use it tonight. Hopefully this will improve my experience. Thank you for the advice! Cheers, Vlad

Vlad, No need look at the logs. Wireless is convenient for visual users, but for astrophotography users, it's a "siren song", best avoided. I'd suggest that you get a serial-usb cable with an FTDI chi

What version of Nina and Phd2 do you ? Do you use an Ascom hub to guide with Nina and Phd2 at the same time ? Did you read the Phd2 troubleshoot manual from one of the developers ?

A couple of questions did you reprogramme your ftdi cable. Another thing you could try is resetting the pmc8 unit. I too use stellarmate and I spent about 2 hours the other night to get it working aga
