So i finally have everything working in SGP Pro , from sequencing to plate solving GOTO, everything works…But… when it lands on the target and solves it …the i get a message “starting PHD-2.6” then (unable to start PHD2, please start PHD2 manually)
the thing is it is running in the task-bar…what gives… Oye!
im willing to try anyone’s settings in SGP…(everything is ok in PHD2)
Mitch,
Is “Enable Server” in the PHD2 Tools menu checked?

Are you starting PHD2 manually before starting SGP?
I always allow SGP to start PHD2 when I select ‘Connect all equipment’, I’m not sure if this makes a difference, but it will prove that they’re able to communicate.

Yes i did , its the first thing i did in PHD2.6…
Yes thats the first thing i did in PHD2.6 …
i think they are communicating because SGP opens PHD2 then just waits…im going to try and get a screen grab its so much easier that way…
Yes, i let SGP fire up PHD2 and i have enabled the profile of my gear in there also…this is why its so confusing… in all instances it should just start guiding…When i start the sequence and it solves the target … then it waits…starting PHD2…and PHD2 opens up…then Fails/times out…
The fastest way to get this resolved is to provide the logs for both SGP and PHD2 for that session.

OK , i think i can do that…i hope this log helps, i thinks its the right one…

The log you attached shows successful connection of SGPro to PHD2, but nothing else. Starting a sequence is not observed in that log (assuming that’s where you actually see the issue).
Ok , thanks Ken, i will try it again on a clear night and see if it activates after solving the image…
Ken: did a dry run on M97/M108 all went well phd2 kicked in, dither worked good, plate solving was a bit tuff till we changed settings to 75 pixel in center on target (default 10 pix)…Bingo… good to go… also lowered very high dither , to lower settings.
