Auto-Guider + Laptop - Full Workflow

In this tutorial I'll show my full workflow for using an auto-guider, star tracker, PHD2 and SharpCap. This is a great way to start off. However, I highly recommend ditching the laptop and upgrading to an ASIAir as soon as possible.

If you just purchased your auto-guider and guide scope, but don't have an ASIAir yet, you can use SharpCap and PHD2 for your polar alignment, focusing, and guiding.

This workflow is great if you're just getting started with your auto-guider. However, the laptop can be a major pain to deal with at night. Therefore, I highly recommend upgrading to the ASIAir Plus as soon as possible. This little device can do more than both SharpCap and PHD2 combined, and the best part is that you can control everything from your smartphone or tablet. No more standing around in the cold! Now you can relax on your couch, monitor the progress wirelessly from your phone, and control every aspect of your setup.
