Right now SGP has a 15 minute timeout waiting for the autoguider to stabilize (see post here). This is way too long – if PHD2 doesn’t settle in much less time than that something is wrong.
I would like to be able to set this timeout. SGP also sends a 600 second timeout to PHD2 (seen in a typical log message as {“method”: “dither”, “params”: [1, false, {“pixels”: 2.5, “time”: 4, “timeout”: 600}], “id”: 1002}). I think this 10 minute timeout should be user-controllable too.
