1, Setup EQMOD:

I have separated this part from my project page where I rebuild my EQ6 mount.

Here are some useful links:

• http://eq-mod.source forge.net/ (The EQMOD project)
• https://github.com/ OpenPHDGuiding/ phd2/ wiki/ EQASCOM-Settings (EQASCOM-Settings)

I follow this link and others that comes later. The setting I use is what I have found working for my equipment:

• EQ6 mount
• TS130 APO, 910 mm f/7
• Main camera Canon 6D DSLR
• Guide telescope 400 mm f/6.3
• Guide camera QHY5 mono chrome

EQMOD setup, RA / DEC rate (old setup):

In EQMOD I had earlier the RA / DEC Rate set to 0.3, I don't remember the reason that I have set it to that low value.

EQMOD setup, RA / DEC rate (new setup):

After I now have read the guide setup recommendation I have increased the RA / DEC Rate to 0.7, later I set both of them to 0.9. Much better performance now. I have also after I wrote this set the "Minimum Pulse Width" to 20 milliseconds.
