Quick question, I had to reformat my imaging laptop recently and finally got a chance to try it out last night after re-installing SGP (and everything else). No backups… sigh.

Everything seemed to be working fine except somewhere during the sequence it failed to center a target. M14. Thing is the image left on the screen showed M14 pretty well centered!

I had forgot to tweak the centering settings and had left it with 1 attempt at less than 30 pixels so I guess it missed that parameter.

I was just wondering what would be considered an acceptable ‘error’ for centering?

The focal length is around 1,460mm (with focal reducer) and the pixel scale is .76

Also I was wondering about the rotator error, I don’t have a rotator, is this just ignored?

Thanks in advance
