Suggestion: Allow one to choose PHD2 profile from Equipment setup page

[Chris Woodhouse]

I have multiple PHD2 profiles, depending on my imaging camera and guider setup. I was previously using SGP, in which I could select PHD2 as the guider and one of its profiles when it was opened by SGP. Is this something considered for NINA? In that way, my NINA profile will also inherently store a matching PHD2 profile.

thanks for considering

Wow - glad to see that someone else thought this was a good idea. I lost 2 hours of imaging last night because my tracking accuracy was all over the place, all because I failed to realize that when NINA started PHD2, it selected the profile I used during my last imaging session in which I used a different guide scope, camera, and focal length. Totally my fault, but it would be awesome if NINA had the capability to select a PHD2 profile defined within the NINA profile that gets loaded.

It already has the possibility in the latest nightlies :)

That’s awesome news. But I’m hesitant to install a pre-release version as I don’t want to introduce any new variables that might cause me to lose imaging time when in the field (I’m unable to experiment much at home due to heavy coastal cloud cover). When do you think it will be in an official release?

Thanks Stefan for including this. Looking forward to the next NB.
