Trying to perfect autoguiding seems like a never ending process. So I ordered a new ZWO guide scope. It has a 280mm focal length and a focal ratio of f/4.6. I bought this guide scope to serve as replacement for my previous one which has a focal length of only 190mm. At the end of the video, I show the setup steps to adjust PHD2 for the new scope. Here is more info on the ZWO guide scope:
