What is very important in setting up the profile is selecting the Local Mode of communication
and leave the default in the HOST field, for both the Mode and Guiding lines. It is at this point
that one must decide what kind of guiding software he want to use during his
astrophotography session. The available alternatives are Internal, PHD2 and LinGuider. Since
the algorithms used in the Internal and PHD2 guiding modes are the same, the choice is only
related to the fact that PHD2 has more tools to tweak the guiding operations. LinGuider has
not been tested with StarGO2.
