I’m on my trial period, and maybe biting off more than I can chew. I’m doing my first tests with SGP and so far I like it, but I’m having some issues. I think I got plate solving worked out, but it may be the cause of my issues. I was doing a very short imaging session for test purposes close to the meridian so I can be sure it worked as expected. It failed to continue the sequence after the flip.
Here is the relevant parts from my log, starting from a place where everything worked OK, and showing all the way to the end where it failed to flip. Any suggestions on what I might be doing wrong?

I got this earlier in the process and everything seemed good…
But after it ran, it gave me this message. I was getting this before when I tried the pixels set for 50, so I raised it to 100 to see if that would help. Error was greater than 500px??? WTH???
So noticed in the log it was saying that I was using 5 x 5 Dual angle but I was pretty sure I had it set for 2x2 any angle.
Here is the final failure that occurred that I was talking about in the log.
