I have been watching some excellent videos on SGP …
I have been careful to get all my settings correct in the equipment profile (saved and applied to sequence).
Everything looks great, but when I slew to a bright star (Vega) to get started and try to “Solve and Sync”, the Plate Solve process aborts after taking the image.
I am using PlateSolve2 and I have the Astronomy.net (local) environment all set up for blind solving as a backup.
I am sure I still have some setting incorrect … any ideas of where I should look?
If it will help, I can start a new session tonight, so we get a less complicated log (this one has a lot of “try this” going on). If you think it will help, I can start SGP, point my scope in the general area of M45, then hit the “Solve & Sync” button.
I am using a Canon EOS 70D @ 1600 ISO. The image that failed last night was 30 seconds. Tonight I can update my equipment profile and try a 5 second image if that would be better.
