Meridian Flip failure
Had another issue last night during the meridian flip. It's odd since the flip occurs, but doesn't seem to recover after the flip. This time, it appeared to stall during plate solving, so I dismissed...

Hi Gabe, I have used SGP 2.5.1.17 with a slightly older PHD2 (phd2-2.6.1dev11 but I have not yet tried 2.6.2) with my A-P1100GTO and never once had a Meridian Flip issue. Every single SGP Sequence...

Pier flip with Paramount ME impossible
That's correct Jared. Due to the big a-concentric filterwheel and the rotator the equipment (filterwheel with camera) CAN hit the pier before the meridian is reached. And its an APO so it is mounted...

I'm sorry for the question, but I don't understand. Is the issue addressed and maybe solved in the actual beta release, 2.5.2.1, or it'll solved in the next beta?

So use a stand-off to lift the scope away from the puck by a few inches. I use one with my 10-Micron (it's about 2-1/2" thick) and that is enough to allow the scope to point anywhere without worrying...

Correct - that is the difference, I'm going past the meridian. Now that you mention it, I remember my focuser used to graze the top of the 10 micron housing if I had it at an angle. A had to use...

Andre,Can you move the filter wheel on top? That's what I have to do on my G11 with my AP130. But I'm not using a rotator either, which would complicate things. Thanks,Jared

Yea, the guy at qDSLRDASHBOARD allows you to do this manually with the right cameras. It's really useful. I think we understand it's not a absolute focuser so it's dependent on backlash and other...

JPG has that much of an effect on the quality of auto focus and plate solving? I had no idea it was changing the images that much.

In that case you have to followThe steps in the manual. If you search around you'll find some guidance on what versions work well with SGP.

I'd go over to the BII forum on Cloudy Nights. They're doing quite a bit of research on the topic and you'll find a bigger pool of users.

Theoretically for an hour or so. Presumably the basic check can be done now, anyway? Lawrence

I believe Ken is saying that the issue may be fixed in the current BETA release (2.5.2.1). The SGP betas are usually very stable. If you choose not to risk the beta then you will have to wait for an...

Yeah I'm surprised to hear that too. Other people (some with very expensive setups) seem to be able to image with other software that uses JPG for focus, plate solving etc, and their images don't seem...

Yea, you can load an image from the file menu and right click on the screen to do a solve and a blind solve. I'm at work so I'm not free till tonight.
