I'm not sure where to post this, SGPro or PHD2, so I’ll start here.
For my normal imaging workflow I typically have the mount ready, SGPro running and ready to start, (sequence loaded and equipment connected), PHD2 running, Stellarium Scope and Stellerium running. I have the mount pointed at my imaging target via by using either Stellarium or the Hand Controller. I then kick off a focusing run. After focusing is done I kickoff PHD2 to get the guiding going. I like to verify tracking is working before starting the sequence.
Once the focusing is done and I know PHD2 is working. I start the sequence. For the target I only use the center now since I am typically close to the target with the goto so there is no need to use the slew to option. Anyway as soon as I select the Run Sequence button and the Center Now kicks off, PHD2 crashes. It doesn’t matter if I have PHD2 tracking or not . However, Center Now carries on and is not effected by the PHD2 crash.
Once PHD2 crashes, I need to restart PHD2 and reconnect the Guide Camera, Mount. I am able to restart PHD2 while SGPro continues to work on the centering. Once centering is complete SGPro then, I guess, ask PHD2 to begin tracking and everything proceeds normally.
PHD2 crashes only when the Center Now is invoked. I’m not currently at my observatory PC so I don’t have any logs but will post if needed. It is suppose to be a clear night tonight, if so I can get new logs if needed.
BTW I am running SGPro v2.6.0.24 and PHD2 developer 7.
The PHD2 crashing is consist when PHD2 is running and SGPro Center Now is invoked.
Thanks,
Mark
