OK, well... there is no smoking gun in the logs, but this is what I
think happened:

  • Sequence is running and attempting to center on a target
  • Sequence fails to plate solve with PS2 and terminates the sequence
  • You attempt to manually plate solve a frame with Astrometry.NET
    and this fails
  • You attempt to manually plate solve a frame with Elbrus, but it is
    not set up correctly and fails
  • At 20:27:54 all equipment is disconnected from SGPro
  • SGPro never crashes and is terminated (seemingly) normally at 16:43:45

The primary issue seems to be that your solves are failing. I can't be
sure exactly why, but I have some suggestions:

  • You do not have a blind solve failover setup. I highly recommend
    installing and using ANSVR for this.

This started me checking out the configuration. I had installed ANSVR on
both laptops but not referred to it correctly in one of the control
panel profile configurations. Similarly I had failed to set up the blind
solve properly.

  • You are not using SGPro's sequence recover option. This is handy
    and gives your sequence more chances to carry on of failure is due
    to the environment.

OK - now understood.

  • Upgrade to SGPro 2.5.2 beta to solve a serious failure on target
    centering

Will do.

  • Figure out why PS2 is not solving for you. Is this accurate?

    [25/09/2016 20:19:39] [DEBUG] [Telescope Thread] PlateSove2 Param:
    Width - 696
    [25/09/2016 20:19:39] [DEBUG] [Telescope Thread] PlateSove2 Param:
    Height - 520

It depends. The Ultrastar is 1392x1040 pixels in bin-1. For target
locations it is set for bin-4 images (or should be). If I did any bin-2,
that would show the above.

I am now re-examining all the profiles and sequences.

Thanks again.
