I’ve had SGP for about 2 years and have not really used it. I’ve tinkered with it but I don’t know a starting point.
Here is my equipment and software:
C14EdgeHD/Hyperstar
Paramount MX+
Exploradome 8’ dome with Foster System rotation and shutter control - running AstroMC 2.8.4beta
Optec FocusLynx Commander
The Sky X Pro - @focus3 & @focus2 for autofocus
PHD2 - I am not using because I am taking up to 15 minute subs unguided but can include if needed
PlateSolve2 or Elbrus plate solve
No filter wheel or rotator.
I think that’s it.I’ve watched tutorials and I good with setting up to run an imaging sequence but I haven’t a clue what to do for initiating the process. I’d love to find a way to simulate it.
Can someone with this set up take me through startup.
(my mount needs to home on start up…how does SGP start the mount or is TheSkyX pro started and mount homed before SGP is started?I just installed AstroMC 2.8.4beta which is the only working version that allows the dome to be controlled by SGP. It is communicating but I can’t tell if it is synced and I am confused about if I need to sync it in SGP. A bit of info about how AstroMC should be set up to be controlled by SGP would be helpful.
Help with these issues should get me started.
Last thing is I have version 2.6 Should I upgrade to 3 if I am still not sure if it’s going to work with my setup?
