Strange behaviour

Hi Guys,

I am sequencing M78 and NGC2683 tonight. M78 ended up being behind my roll of roof, so I used ‘Centre on’ in the NGC2683 event, set the guider running and came back 30 mins later to find frames of ngc2683 being captured (as you’ll know it’s a galaxy) but no progress shown for the event in the sequencer.

So on further investigation, the NGC2683 images are being saved to disk as M78 and progress is being shown in the M78 event as the images come in.

I have probably managed to confuse SGP somewhere…

best wishes
Paul

Thanks for the report. Logs would pretty clearly show what happened.

Thanks Ken, here’s a link to the log

There were three images of ngc2683 saved as M78 before I intervened. The time of saving the first one is shown by Windows File manager as
26/3/17 at 22.43

Right… well SGPro doesn’t care what you are actually pointed at. If you start the sequence with a target active and don’t ask for any sort of automatic target centering, SGPro will assume it’s on target. Here is the sequence start for the frames you have identified:
