Hi all,

I have created an advanced tutorial that you may find useful if you have a GEM and use SGP. 

This manual approach works best for semi-permanent and permanent set-ups, such as backyard observatories and remote observatories, wherein the telescope is always precisely polar-aligned.

By using the techniques presented, you will minimize sequence crashes due to auto-flip and auto-centering failures. In my experience, SGP's auto-flip and auto-centering features can fail roughly 10% and 20% of the time, respectively.

Another advantage to this approach is that you can image more than one sequence per target per night. For example, you can have one sequence imaging narrowband and the other imaging broadband. Or, you can have one sequence imaging all Lum frames while the other sequence is cycling through R, G, and B.

Feedback is appreciated.

You've got a good bio on your workplace linked site.

I get a similar response talking of time in Nunavut with people... slowly backing away. Nunavut's biome is often outterspace.
