Welcome to the PHD2 Planetary Guiding Extension Wiki! This documentation aims to provide users with detailed information on the extension's features, options, and the recommended workflow for solar, lunar, and planetary imaging. Designed to enhance the PHD2 guiding software, this extension is perfect for astrophotographers looking to maintain celestial objects centered in their field of view during long observation sessions.
- Planetary Tracking Modes: Enhances PHD2 by adding specialized autoguiding capabilities for larger celestial bodies such as the Sun, Moon, and planets.
- Full Planetary Disk Detection Mode: Enables autoguiding based on the full disk or crescent shapes of solar, lunar, and planetary objects, facilitating accurate tracking.
- Surface Features Detection (Optional): Offers advanced guiding precision on solar, lunar, and planetary bodies, particularly beneficial at high focal lengths.
