Greetings Robin, Happy New Year!
I ran my mosaic sequence tonight and it performed as expected. Now I simply use CdC to setup number of frames export the coordinates to SC rename to: sequence_coords.txt and I'm in business.
Can't thank you enough for you help. Long live Sharp Cap and it's author!

Hey again, I think this is a simulator problem phd won't lock because the star field is weak I have no gain setting, only exposure. I will give us both a break after this. The sequence runs the first set of exposures and ask for file name, goes back to the top slews after which phd cannot find a sta...

Thanks again, lot of hand holding and I appreciate it. If this runs and works as expected is there a proper place where I can share the sequence it's crude but someone like me might benefit.

Hey Robin, I believe your instructions were followed? Attaching log. I setup Sky Simulator and everything seems good, however it could be the cause of my latest problem. I went this route as the weather sucks and will do so for some time also full moon is no help. Sorry to be such a pain, now one wa...

Hey Robin, back at the mosaic task. The weather has not been kind. I am attaching my log as I can't seem to find the command to stop guiding, then do the goto and sync then find new guide star and start phd. My manual process is just that, goto, sync, select star, and guide. I may be expecting too m...

Hey Robin, Back at it. I'm now confused as to the difference between a camera profile and a capture profile. I've read through the manual still no joy so sending a log with just the sequence line that fails.

Ok, So now I get the dumb ass of the year award! Thanks Robin made an assumption without checking. Feel bad I wasted your time.

Well Robin, I'm back! The sharp solve works BUT, The platesolve and sync are greyed out as well as just sync. The mount is set in hardware. What am I missing now?

Thanks Robin, will give Sharp Solve a shot. If I choose the option to set focal length in SC Then it can't talk to Si Tech and I see no way to set the fl in ps2. So my hope is your suggestion works I got my sequence written finally got a clear night, never saw the platesolve problem coming.......

It has been awhile since my last visit. I am trying some new projects, for the past two years I have been using SharpCap for all my imaging, simple manual use for the most part, but now I have been looking at some simple sequences which will require plates solving from SC. I have setup and tested pl...
