Not sure this is the same thing, but it started getting super slow updating the focuser position (the little editable text box control) in the focuser control panel after a focuser sequence scan. This happened for several runs of my refocus sequence (Previously posted). It worked fine earlier in the...

Yeah, I was pretty confused by the log too. As soon as I saw the problem, I wished I had turned the focus trace logging turned on. A few versions back I had it turned on, but it was so verbose I had to turn it off as it made it hard to find the relevant section of the log to send you when a problem ...

More adventures here. When I started testing with the latest release, it worked fine the first time, then the second time I ran my refocus sequence it got stuck in a loop with the focuser not moving, but it thought it had, it kept taking exposures, but didn't get anywhere. I captured the log after i...

Cool! Will test as soon as it stops raining(!) - sometime later this week.

One final thought on the stacklog functionality: They all have the same name, if you open several, you can't tell which one is which easily. My first step in using a stacklog is always renaming the file! Would it be possible to include the live stack file name as a prefix in stacklog file name? So f...

Thanks for this. Very interesting, and strange that its hard to find more discussion of this on the internet... It just seems to me that if CPWI can add temporary points to the pointing model without breaking things, then other apps should be able to do this too. This is confusing as well, since I d...

Although this may be related to the other UI lag, the character of the freeze up here is a little different as I can't even click on window controls - everything is unresponsive in the interface, except for the mount position status updating. In the other UI lag, its the opposite, everything is clic...

Posted the last update too soon! Testing tonight, I ran this refocus script (in log) on several targets. And then suddenly the interface froze. I did have to cancel the sequence (by hitting stop in the sequence control dialog) because I was on the wrong side of focus and had to adjust the focus outw...

I have not seen a freeze during focus since you made these changes.

And it would be nice if celestron would fix it of course, but that won’t come quickly. I’d you decide to add something to probe this in log debug output, let me know and I will test it out. I suppose it could be a problem with just my mount. It just seems so weirdly specific that it feels to me that...
