I'm rarely in favourable conditions to test the guiding performance of my mountures (Paris region, lousy weather, no great astro equipment to test with), but I was able to give it a try this weekend. The conditions were far from perfect: a full moon, no decent station setting, and I didn't have my guide scope suitable for precise guiding (I had my 120mm focal length, and I didn't have the 240mm with me).
Here are some of the results. I averaged 0.9‘’, with periods of 0.6‘’. Also, my sampling is not great, it will be better with 2x more focal length... This was the first time I'd taken out my new Touptek GPM462M, and I'm pleased to see that it's working well!
This is the PHD2 log file. I purged the passages where I adjusted the guidance and the mount.
