Morning All,
I have issues with my new Rigel Focuser, more specifically with its Temperature Sensor. For the first couple of times it worked flawlessly but then according to the SGP, the temperature fluctuated so much all the time that the sequence needed a re-focus basically after each integration. This got a little better when Leon proposed changing the average measuring time longer, yet yesterday evening it was till doing this occasionally. Not as often as before but the SGP was still showing different temperatures than the Ascom GCUSB control panel which showed very consistent numbers though-out the evening. At 22:06:28 the SGP lost the connection completely yet the GCUSB panel was still having a connection and showing what I believe was currently the correct temperature. At 22:12:04 I changed the Focus to start to use the time interval because of this issue.
Any suggestions what to try to fix this? I have added a part of yesterday’s log with my post in case it helps.
