Add exclude center to autofocus (in same pane as "crop auto focus frame")
No worries, I was just wondering what you were seeing. The starizona articles were written when focus Max was the only game in town and it was pretty highly scripted (must be a mag 5 star/multiple...
View ArticleThe API logging... it burns us (2.5.2.3)
Everyone keep in mind that this is a beta. Often we add additional logging to help us track down errors and remove that logging when we release an actual beta. Thanks,Jared

Mosiac rotation angle issue
Last evening was trying to do a mosiac and all went well setting it up until it came time to solve and start. Used an image from Astrobin for the Aurgina region and kept getting a rotation error. I do...

I think this is worth keeping even though with my system it rarely has any significance and is more likely caused by seeing fluctuations than anything. It seldom shows up. It might be nice to have it...
View ArticleAdd exclude center to autofocus (in same pane as "crop auto focus frame")
My take on this is twofold: 1) To be blunt and maybe unpopular, if bad focus is being caused by optics - you need to fix the optics, not band-aid with software. 2) Having said that, being able to...

In the latest beta (2.5.2.4) you can turn the API logging off. The defaultis off.

Mosiac rotation angle issue
In the target settings window, just uncheck "Rotate Camera". This means it will no longer check the camera rotation before the sequence starts. When you used the image from Astrobin, SGP imported the...

Thanks Joel, this happens when tring to plate solve and center (step 2) if you think this will correct it, I will try it tonight Mike

Yeah it should work. The plate solve is failing because the rotation angleof the reference image does not match your actual camera angle (I think).

cool. the pempro thing will be great. i've not been able to use it due to not having maxim or an otherwise supported camera. thanks for making the logging optional.

Someone I know, who had same issue, tried this fix (using Starry Night Pro) and got the same error again
View ArticleThank you!
my question would be, is it really necessary to refocus every ONE degree ?? I thought like every 5 degrees would be just fine or does it depend on individual setups ???

Mosiac rotation angle issue
I'm not sure what Starry Night Pro has to do with this? If you're getting a rotation error then unchecking that box as Joel recommends should take care of the rotation issue (as SGP won't verify the...
View ArticleThank you!
I refocus every 1 degree on my F/6.5 130mm refractor. The change in focus and position is noticeable. So like Joel says "it depends". If you have a carbon tube and generally stable optics then 1...
View ArticleAdd exclude center to autofocus (in same pane as "crop auto focus frame")
This isn't something I would ever use because my optics are well corrected - but for people with unflattened RC's or ACF, or wide refractors, this would be a real need and it does correspond to the...
