AutoFocus with OAG and Guiding
I had some poorly registered subs after a recovery operation by SGP due to a cloud interruption. And, of course, PHD2 grabbed the brightest star in the field when it resumed, not my choice.Kind of...
View ArticleAutoFocus with OAG and Guiding
You should probably look into why framing changes so much when guiding stops during focus. Autofocus works much better when PHD2 isn't fighting against it. I always have guiding turned off during...

Yeah, A local server implementation also implementing the other two templates/interfaces might be the way to go. But like you all have pointed out, I opted to output a boltwood file instead. Which...
View ArticleAutocenter fails after EQMOD meridian flip
I have found that the problem is caused by the platesolve and sync that SGP does before the flip.This sets DxSA and DxSB values in EQMOD (they were zero) and it must be these that conflict with the...

In my case I am using EdgeHD11 at f/10 with 8300 ccd and 0.4" per pixel. The guide camera is a qhy5iii-174, which is fairly large and sensitive, and I am guiding with MetaGuide. For optimal framing I...

I think @Jared is aware of this from a different thread (or this one... can't remember) and will address it soon.

Autofocus trigger based on FWHM (or HFR) of previous image
jaime: why cannot autofocus first take an image at the current point, measure it, and if HFR is within some range of the last good autofocus just skip? Only a few seconds to check if it's worth the...

Autocenter fails after EQMOD meridian flip
PeterGoodhew: So the question is can I stop SGP from syncing before the flip, but still have it auto-center after the flip?. You cannot. We like to get an exact position directly before the flip to...

Hi Ken,I find even with image history turned off the download speed of images is still pretty slow. I am using a full frame DSLR, so maybe there isn't much can be done about it. Dean
View ArticleAutocenter fails after EQMOD meridian flip
The plate solve before the meridian flip is what gives the exact position. The sync contributes nothing because it is immediately followed by the long meridian flip slew. What would help is to do the...
View ArticleAutocenter fails after EQMOD meridian flip
That was my thinking too Chris. I will raise a request for the user to have the option of plate solving without sync before the flip. that would certainly solve the problem. I can't see any other way...
View ArticleAutocenter fails after EQMOD meridian flip
Just re-reading Ken's reply, it sounds like this is already being worked on, assuming it can be applied when performing the flip.

Thanks for taking the time to reply, Ken. I think the setting would work for me, but also 100% understand you; also SGPro already has a scary amount of options, you no doubt have to be very careful...
