Thanks for looking into it Jared. This is quite a mystery for me. I'm running SGP and PHD2 on a headless PC stick at my scope, so no possibility of a critter or other nefarious users interrupting the...

View ArticleRest API for sensor data?
I'm curious if there's a way to get rest API sensor data in SGP. As we know, commercial cloud sensors are expensive, so I decided to see if I can get a home-brew cloud sensor via an IR temperature...

I guess that depends on what you're after. If you want SGP to shutdown when it gets cloudy or starts to rain you can create an ASCOM Safety Device that polls your sensor and triggers an "Unsafe"...

Jared makes sense regarding the likelihood that it's optics-related rather than program. I do also occasionally get a perfect parabola from upper left to upper right on the graph. I though it could be...

Thanks for your reply Jared. I was thinking more like a GET request, e.g. http://restServer:port/okToImagewith a return of either 1 or 0 to indicate that it's safe or unsafe, respectively. The server...

Rest API for sensor data?
So why not create an ASCOM Safety Device to access your API? The Safety Device would be pretty slim and would really just be a way for you to send back True/False to SGP. Just like you're mentioning...

You can set the error down from 50 pixels but if you do this you may need to increase the attempts depending on what your mount is capable of. Yes, we could do a nudge to the target but really that...
