Adding targets from previously saved sequences
Thanks Chris. Both are good tips. I actually used the AstroBin suggestion the first time I used SGP.

Hi Simon. If you are using EQMOD then sidereal rate is automatically enabled when the mount is unparked and sent to a target. I'm assuming that unpark in SGP triggers the unpark in EQMOD which in turn...

That's great. That is exactly how it should work. EQMOD requires an unpark before it will allow a slew. Cheers, Gord

I love that feature. The Framing and Mosaic tool is what I use the most though. It's kind of nice to see exactly what your camera is going to capture. Plus, sometimes just one 'extra' frame will give...

CLE, Did you run a sequence? Or did you just tell it from a target to 'slew now'? If you run a sequence, SGP will tell the mount to unpark and. if you've selected it to slew, it will slew, and, if...

Might be a bit off topic but I do like the idea of the mosaic as well. I use a Canon 600d with Hyperstar III on a C11 so short exposures which would be great for building a mosaic but I'm wondering...

Works just fine. I haven't used hyperstar but I've done it with my D800. No issues minus the usual DSLR hiccups (make sure you remove the darn memory card! :D) You need to make sure it's a flat field...

Thanks! I've been using autofocus with Hyperstar and it has performed really well. I'm getting nice tight stars. I'm still on the learning curve as I've only been using SGP for about a week or so but...

I am using a Starlight Xpress M25C camera and have seen this 'bug' before. Using bin/frame and focus, I click start but when clicking 'stop' SGP crashes. From that point I cannot re-make a connection...

One of the reasons for Park is to prevent inadvertent slews when, for instance, the observatory roof is closed. Attempts to move the mount when it's parked will throw a parked exception.UnPark removes...
