SGP and SkyX not communicating well
cmassa: I posted in the Bisque TSX forum. The answer I got is that any sync functions have been removed for Paramounts. That effectively breaks the centering function of SGP with newer builds of TSX....

cmassa: Sorry for my ignorance, but I guess I don't understand why SGP syncs during the centering process. Couldn't it do the same thing and just not issue the sync or does that cause a problem? When...

One key point to add. For my cge pro the mount knows exactly where it is after it syncs. It is essentially perfect. But it is imperfect in landing where it was told to go. Despite this goto error the...

I kind of had the same problems . Read and narrowed it down to this . 1. Crop all the stacks before trying to merge the panels. 2. If some panels won't merge it is due to lens distortion . I can do 3...
