Hello Jared,
I am afraid your program SGP is very unstable. When it halts because of a bad connection - why does it not give a message for bad or lost connection?
I am very sorry because it is very intuitive and has almost all possibilities. Christoph helped me two nights when I was in Botswana, he did not solve the problems but promised me it would be a lot better at home with my Mesu200 mount. Het did help me indeed but later on the problems started.
So give me please an honest advise:
Switch to Nebulosity or Maxim? Or do you have a good solution?
Windows 7 on the new computer and try again?
yours sincerely
Arie Slingerland
