Premium replace PHD?

Question

Just wondering if I should upgrade to the premium version. I've seen on the comparison that the premium allows me to control more than one camera, does this mean I could control my guide cam and therefore not need PHD for tracking?

No, that is not what it means.

 

BYE/BYN will not control your guide camera and does not do autoguiding.

 

The dual camera control is intended to allow you to control 2 imaging cameras simultaneously. Both cameras would be Canon (or Nikon, with BYN) DSLRs.

 

PHD is not used for tracking.  Your mount should already be tracking. PHD is used for guiding.
