SGP able to select guide star magnitude?

Thank you fellas,

Unfortunately weather is again plaguing my efforts here in the Midwest. B4 SGP, I would just use PHD2 and manually select a star that would not saturate. All worked beautifully. With SGP, it will be a little more challenging, but I'm confident it will work. The rub comes in due to the IF ONAG. Gaston recommended that my exposure time be set at 15 sec. with zero hysteresis. This provides minimal mount corrections and works well with manual star selection in PHD2. By automating the process, things get a little more complicated.

I will follow Andy's suggestion and take this over to the PHD2 forum. The whole reason I purchased SGP was to be able to use PHD2. After I bought it, I'm realizing why so many are dropping the programs like maxim, tsx, and ccdap. For me, SGP opens up new fronts in ease of operation and a multitude of options. Even with the saturation problems, my stars are round, but that may be due to where I was imaging at the time.

I'm in hopes that the SGP developers will come up with a modelling program such as ModelMaker or t point that can be incorporated in SGP. Thanks for the help................Gunny
