In literally my first session with SGPro I was very impressed but something went badly wrong. I have an Orion Sirius EQ-G mount controlled through the ASCOM driver for SynScan Mobile, and PlateSolve2. I used the Framing and Mosaic Wizard to generate a target for M81 and it produced the expected coordinates I had previously tested plate solving against an image I took last week of M101 and it worked it out correctly. I did a 3 star alignment on my mount and it was finding stars correctly and my camera was focused. I opened my sequence, I wanted to Frame and Focus before starting the sequence, right clicked on the target and clicked slew to target which it did. It appeared to be pointing in the correct general direction but I didn’t take a photo. So far, so good. I then clicked Center on Target and it appeared to find a solution for the image. Suddenly the mount took off at high speed away from the correct direction and crashed into the tripod before I could get it stopped. No permanent damage but I was pretty freaked out. Any suggestions before I try again? I will have the power cord in one hand next time just in case! I am really committed to making this product work for my setup.
