Nothing but problems!
Randy, So it looks like a couple of things are going on here. Failure to start - It appears that SGP is slewing and getting on target just fine but when PHD starts we're timing out. We will only wait...

+1 agreed on both. i guess as a first step i'd like to add that attempting the next target when the current target fails recovery would be nice. for those of us with hard horizon limits, usually plans...

Not currently, but it is on our radar. Just trying to figure out an intuitive way to define that subframe at the moment. You can select to "Crop auto focus frames" but that is done post download....

I did a search on "Sequence Generator Pro QSI camera error" and came across this thread. I experienced a couple of nights of excessive errors with my camera, lost connections, etc. As suggested here,...

Thanks Jared Is it not possible to let the user select the subframe as normal and then report back if not suitable for autofocus? John

@pfile Agreed, however SGPro would need to move the telescope to a point where it can perform a plate solve, if the object being imaged has gone behind trees then the chances are you are not going to...

I have noticed that there is no option for SGPro to automatically unpark the telescope, enable sidereal rate and start the plate solving to center an object, for example on my EQ8 pro, I have EQMOD...

Ability to edit Sequences whilst another Sequence is running
I'll try that later on tonight then
View ArticleFeature Request - Enhancements to time scheduling
I don't think this is strictly true... if both "slew to" and "center on" are ticked in the next target then SGP does not solve/sync before slewing to the next target. it solve/syncs after getting...

@pfile you've just taught me about the "Slew to" option, many thanks

Simon, If you set up a start time in your sequence, it will automatically unpark the mount. If you tell it to 'slew' in the sequence, it will automatically slew to the first target. And, if you turn...

Slew to is awesome :). I agree if we could get 'horizon' limits that would solve a lot of our issues especially if SGP could attempt a new target if the horizon limit was breached.

Gord, What I do is just plate solve one of the images if I'm moving to a new sequence for some reason. If I'd like to try an image that someone else has, I usually just use the astrobin link option....

@mads0100 But what it does not have the option of is enabling sidereal on the mount, this has to be done manually, so in order to have a sequence start, sidereal rate must be running, therefore the...

Simon, My mount (Gemini-2 Mi-250) starts tracking as soon as the mount is unparked and is commanded to slew. I would talk with the ASCOM developer and see if they can fix this. SGP is issuing the...

Really nice. Good job! We should have a 'user submitted' images page. SGP does such good work.

@mads0100 I honestly can't remember imaging life without SGPro......well I did not have a CCD camera then

Ben, Good advice. It took me quite awhile to figure out that it usually isn't SGP :). I was also surprised how often things like cables, hubs, power supplies, etc, can fail in 'industrial' gear like...

Agreed. When I first started I ran the gambit on software and after a fit of rage over guiding not working in some 'other' program, I decided to try SGP. I managed to get SGP running all night long...
