EQ8 new meridian flip problem - user aborted

Hello,

I’m now using SGP for a little bit than one year now, absolutly successfully in a remote site.
I never had any problems with meridian flip. But last night is the second night in a row that the flip failed. In the morning, when I come to see the result of the night, I see the message “user aborted meridian flip”.
Quite strange, as I was not attending the sequence, but anyway…

The logs of the sequence show no error :slight_smile:[17/11/2017 03:28:03] [DEBUG] [Sequence Thread] Getting next event (3)…

To me, it says that it tried to begin a new shoot in the sequence, then saw there would be a meridian flip during the shoot so waited for it, which shows a user dialog with a timer warning that it is waiting on the flip… then everything in the log seems to show that I would have pressed the cancel button ???

My mount is an EQ8, I use EQMod and haven’t changed the SGP settings for a long time…
Any clue / things I should check ?

I’ll try this night to point to an object near the flip and wait and check what SGP is really doing, but I’m not sure I’ll see something…

Thx in advance and clear sky !

Mike
