The other night while imaging due to cloud the recovery option kicked in , but while trying to plate solve sgp made a bad solve probably to partial cloud cover !
Anyway the scope shot off wildly from the correct position , fortunately I was present and stopped any problems .
as the scope ( as most would ) still moves in ra --even after a while the correct position is not far away , so could we introduce a max error that is possible i.e if the plate solve reports a fig more than the user set ( eg a couple of deg from the original target fig ) it would not slew the scope without user input.
would stop any accidents
Happy Christmas all and many thanks to the team for the most excellent software
SGP already has the safeguard in place that you are asking for. If the solve location differs from the mount’s reported position by more than a small amount then SGP rejects the solve (the restriction only applies during automated imaging, not during manual setup).
I think you should post your log file so we can see why the safeguard failed.
I don’t think so (since once you hit “Run sequence”, it is in automation mode), but Ken or Jared would need to confirm. During recovery it should definitely not bypass the plate solve rejection so the logs should tell us what went wrong.
