So, I was sitting down to process the past weekend's data when I noticed that none of my images seemed to have been dithered. Checking the settings in SGP shows that I had somehow managed to uncheck...

You're correct, when using the API not all data is populated. I'm not sure when we'll get to this, but we'll leave it in the feature requests for now. Thanks,Jared

Not a lot to go on unfortunately. Anything in your system logs or event viewer around that same time that might indicate a camera disconnect or other odd behavior? Thanks,Jared

If that's the case then it's probably intermittent. The difference between 15, 16 and 17 is actually quite small and no changes to the guider or sequencer were made in any of those. Mostly it was...

Andrew, While I have a 6D, I don't use it for AP, so I'm probably not much help. But those values seem sane. Even if they're completely wrong it's not a big deal. The Gain is used to calculate "best...
View ArticlePHD reports dithering when it did not happen
I believe there is an issue in SGP that if dither is unchecked but "Settle at" is specified that SGP will still command a dither. Or it could be that if any autoguider is selected that SGP will...
View ArticlePHD reports dithering when it did not happen
You are right, I did have "settle at" enabled, so maybe it did something like command PHD to "dither 0 pixels" which caused the PHD graph to report that it did drizzle. The real problem is that I did...

PHD reports dithering when it did not happen
Jared: If you really don't want to dither then just select "No Auto Guider" for the time being. Presumably this means that while PHD can be running it won't be controlled by SGP. This will preclude...

View ArticleSGP incorrectly ending sequence because 'Unsafe' when it is actually 'Safe'
The Trace option that you mention is actually in the CloudWatcher ASCOM driver, all SGP is doing is starting the driver setup dialog. In some way it's a shame that it works like this because it means...

If PHD2 works fine with slewing to the first target and starts up ok, is it safe to say that the same sequence of PHD2 commands will work for any subsequent target?
