Thanks guys. Something else must have changed in the system then, because it's definitely hanging at that message. It's absolutely not the image download. I've used the same computer and camera, so...

not at all to minimize SGP, but what you are looking for is ACP expert. it can run completely unattended. SGP requires user input and does not support any horizon constraints at present. rob

yes, very true - if you are willing to log in once a day and start the observatory, then SGP would probably work for completely remote operation. even ACP needs to be restarted from time to time,...
