Re: Auto meridian flips with SGP
Hi Tom,
Exactly, what configuration settings did you use? I can't correct or promote the software to a release version without logs and settings information. Just saying it didn't work is not going

Hi Tom,

Re: APPM Model sanity check (suggestion)
Thanks, Tom! Glad you find the plugins useful.
APPM's actions at the end of a modeling run can be configured. When used from within NINA, it's suggested to set it to "No action" if your next move in

M31 from Paducah Skies Observatory
I got a lot of data for this M31 shot. I took 4 hours of OSC, 20 min of OSC 30 second for the core, 3 hours of RGB, 5.5 hours of Luminosity and 2 hours of Ha. I used my ASI2600MC for OSC and

Re: Mach2 with CP five jiggling while tracking
I had/have the same issue with my Mach2. Roland sent me some APCC commands to help dampen the encoders. It affected both axes for me. I thought it was totally solved but have since seen some

Re: Mach2 with CP five jiggling while tracking
Here’s the video of the oscillation in RA. It’s kinda short. I’d like to acquire more data/info for troubleshooting.

Btw… this Mach2 is unguided. In this case

That is an interesting addition to the NINA Plugin. The Ground Control plugin with PushOver support is great too. Thanks Dale!
If I have a "single target night", I might use that instead of generating
