Autoguiding with PHD2 - Theory, Setup and Operation

As your astrophotography skills develop, there comes a point where you want to take longer exposures to go deeper into Deep Sky objects to acquire more hours of total exposure time without clobbering your hard drive too badly. Doing this pushes your tracking mount harder and exposes its limitations. That's where auto-guiding comes to the rescue! In this tutorial I explain the theory behind auto-guiding, show you what hardware you need to set up, and show you how to install the software required. I then demonstrate how to set up the PHD2 autoguiding for the first time, and how to calibrate and get auto-guiding.
