EM200 Temma 2 Guiding Rate ?

Dear All,

I am trying to use the free software Guidedog in webcam autoguiding EM200 and it appears that this software works with Temma through the ASCOM platform. In setting the autoguide parameters, the EM200 mount's Guide Rate in arc-sec per sec will have to be input for the Guidedog software.

Does anyone know the Guiding Rate of EM200 (Temma 2) in terms of a multiplier of the sideral rate (the sideral rate being 15 arc-sec per sec) ? What is the Guiding Rate for EM200 when autoguiding is used ?

For example, LX200 mount has a Guiding Rate of 2x sideral rate and it equals to 30 arc sec per sec.

Thanks in advance !

Raymond
