Dithering PHD2 every x pictures
jmacon: I think this is only true for each group of three images, where the first of the three is dithered from the prior group of three. Example: a total of 60 images is taken with dithering every 3...

Jared thanks for checking into this, while in that area of the code, and if you have time of course. (No rush) Could you remove the initial dither on Frame 1?

Hi Frank, Your results seems to be very convincing. I sure would like to see my mount, CGEM-DX, to be able to converge. It seems to get stuck in the 80 pixel area. I hope that sometime in the near...

I used recent atik drivers from this July. They were discussed in a thread here. Rebooting after installation. I didn't set anything special in the driver itself. I will show my sgp settings here...

Hi. It's a mixture of both. To show Python controlling sgp and to show the centering work. I can't guarantee it would work as well with your mount but if your mount gets stuck at a repeatable offset...

An important thing to note is that the mount is not well aligned and initially misses by over ten minutes. But it converges quickly. Also note the offsets are confined to this routine and forgotten...

Thanks for the replies! I'm going to back-burner the autoguiding question. The pressing issue is how to connect to the SBIG filter wheel FW8G-STT. SGPro v2.5.1.17 indicates “SBIG Error while opening...

Ok this is really weird. A few days ago I got a new GM1000HPS mount. The first two session didn't happen to need a flip, but yesterday and today did. Both nights, after shooting 1 sub it tried a...

You have no idea how fortunate you are to be using SGP with the support of Ken and Jared. These guys, without asking have turned around fixes or suggestions overnight in some cases. That is service -...

The Starlight Xpress SXV driver worked fine all night- which suggests it is not a hardware issue. I will reload the ASCOM driver and if the issue returns let the Starlight team know.
