v4.1.11974 focus scan bug
Robin, as you'll see from the attached log, I had just started my usual focus routine - move -ve until obviously out of focus, initiate scan +ve : normally, this works without issue, but this one decided that something had gone wrong, then took off like a hoolie for zero, or so it appeared - I manag...

Re: Focuser bug in v11922
Thanks, Robin - I see it proved just a bit more difficult, from the release notes
Only just returned to clear skies, here, so sorry for the long delay... appears fixed.

Focuser bug in v11922
Hi, Robin,
focuser appeared to lock out buttons when trying to initiate focus - see colour screen shot
This cleared when I stopped <Live View>
This get's even stranger: see second MONO screenshot, after opening focuser, and back to live view...

Thanks,

Re: v4.1.11031 focuser runaway inwards
Hi, Robin, sorry for the delay in replying. Overshoot by 1200 steps , always approach in positive direction ... there's quite a bit of slop in SCT focusers, and this goes through the 10x fine focus knob, as well as a reduction by the belt pulleys from a 200-step stepper. Please let me know if I can ...

v4.1.11031 focuser runaway inwards
Robin, I don't quite know what happened here, as I'd switched to another virtual desktop to check on another program, however what I heard was one of my focus motors doing a very long run at top speed... When I switched desktops back to SharpCap, I could see this focuser apparently headed for zero.....

Possible bug - LiveStack file naming 4.1.10987
Robin, I know we've had issues around Live Stack file naming before, but here something is definitely not quite right: hopefully, as you will see from the screenshot, the filter selected is LPS-D1 , but the second field in the suggested filename, which should be the filter, is NBZ-UHS , which was th...

Re: Auto Focus - Refocus Fail
Robin, I had an instance of refocus failing spectacularly a couple of nights ago: I always scan outwards , since I’m using a SCT , I clicked on auto focus , unusually (I usually control refocusing manually); after taking several frames, it determined that it was on the wrong side of focus ( incorrec...

Re: Plate solve with sync turns off PEC playback on my CGX mount
Robin, there was a question from Derek, Celestron’s lead firmware engineer, on Team Celestron some time ago about exactly this - PEC being disabled after SYNC commands… IIRC, the gist was that this was “a historical artefact” of the older era controllers… Sorry, but since I don’t use PEC, relying on...

Re: Reference of timestamp
Hi, I hope you don’t mind me chiming in, but I think you’re missing Robin’s point, here: you can have arbitrary precision in the time reported, but Windows doesn’t provide for accurate timestamps at such precision… Windows internal timekeeping isn’t accurate below milliseconds , regardless of the pr...
