Originally from ticket #25479.
SkySafari 4 Pro, iMac 5K, OSX 10.11 El Capitan.
Celstron AVX Mount, SkyQLink (aka Sky WiFi etc), Celestron StarSense AutoAlign
Before I start trying to set it up, is it possible to use auto guiding in connection with the SkyFi and SkySafari?
I want to have my tracking as accurate as possible, and I can't find a reference to auto guiding (well, third read through your manuals so far).
I was thinking - probably use PHD2 with a QHY6
Bill Tschumy replies:
SkySafari doesn't do any auto-guiding however, it shouldn't interfere with any auto guiding software you are running.

Ticket update:
I was aware that skySafari didn’t do guiding of itself - just wanted to check it wasn’t going to be impacted by alternative guiding software.
BTW are there plans to support guiding under r the guise of a ‘rounded’ application?
Cheers
Bill Tschumy replies:
No, I'm not aware of any negative impacts by guiding software. They should interoperate.
No, we don't have plans to support guiding from within the app. That would lead us down the slippery slope of making a full AP app. We might do that in the future as a different app, but it is not something we would build into SkySafari.
