Anyone use SGP / TSX / PHS2 on a PC stick?
buzz: I ran the system last night and it worked very well but only when it connected to my home router. It even drove an unpowered hub with guider, focuser, polemaster and mount. Not bad. I decided to...

Hope this helps. Ran into something similar and realized EQMOD had me in the wrong Hemisphere.

Dennis, thanks for the thought. I don't think so, but that seems like it could cause this sort of behaviour. I checked the mount twice, I'll recheck on next power on but I'm pretty confident it has...

Like Dennis mentioned, I would check Lat/Lon, Sidereal Time and Hemisphere. These may be set in your mount hardware or in the actual ASCOM driver. We get the values from the ASCOM driver but it could...

Chris_T: How would your implementation work for those of us in the OSC world (such as DSLRs) where there is no filter changes? The dither isn't tied to a filter change event. I was meaning that I...

just remembered, are you using anything like Stellarium ?? That had me in the wrong Longitude (East instead of West) , and really messed up SGP .

I think in that case your just set the count to 5. That way it would dither all 5 frames. Would that work? ThanksJared

Thanks Jared. I double checked Lat/Lon, but who knows, maybe I blew it twice, so I'll check a third time when I power on tonight. I also double checked time in PC and Mount and just to make sure I was...

I also would really like to be able to set a delay after focuser movements since often see blurred out stars.

I use an SBIG STT8300M with FW8G-STT but not self-guiding. I do OAG on a different scope with a Lodestar X2 using the SX AO unit. SGP has built in drivers for the SBIG and its filter wheel. It should...

Thank you Sir! It's working for me as of this evening. I just needed to slow down and work through the step-by-step process for setting up, i.e., saving a profile and using it in a new sequence. I was...

For reason that are unclear this problem appears to have spontaneously disappeared. Between last night and tonight, where time to flip is positive and counting down, the computer was not rebooted, sgp...

DARN! right after I wrote the above I checked back and now the time to flip is -3:59:39 %^$^&%$^%$ And it just failed the flip - of course. So I just turned flip off and resumed. Looks like I will...

If you can attach your SGP log where flip was enabled and you were imaging that may help. Also where are you imaging? Are you fairly close to the pole? What is the RA of your target? (Or just send the...
