Hi everyone,

I have finished setting up my focus points and a consequence the offsets for my 5 position filter wheel (Ha, OIII, R, G, B). I use green filter for autofocus and plate solving.

I have a question about the sequence because after I ran the frame & mosaic wizzard to create new sequence, I started sequence and plate solve failed because stars were completely out of focus. I had wrongly assume that SGP would auto-adjust the focuser to the right green filter focus position before plate solving but it did not.

I read the forums and notice that a lot of people are using the manual frame and focus before kicking off the sequence which will do a plate solve afterward. Is that correct? Do I need to run’frame and focus’ to set the focuser to the right the right focused position so I can ultimately start the sequence and get the plate solving done that way?

Thank you
