For those who don't know there is a project underway to develop an Open Source version of PHD. I have been using PHD 2.0.4a (alpha 4) and it works fine with my QHY5 and EQMOD. I have just installed 2.0.5a. I believe they are close to a proper release after rewriting a lot of the code especially the camera handling. There are now a lot more options in the Brain and 2.0.5a improves image display (it says). Development of Craig Stark's version has just about stopped.

The project is here.
Get PHD2 here.

That's great news. About time it was updated.

PHD 2 Alpha 1 has been released.

I have been using PHD 2 exclusively for a while now and it does what it needs too very well. Worth the change over. The functionality and interface aren't a lot different, there are a lot more options in the Brain. The guiding image is a lot cleaner with my QHY5 which is quite a noisy camera.
