Hi Randall,

happy for beta bug reports to go in either the beta forum or the bug reports forum. Good luck with the clear skies!

Hi, glad to hear that you like the look of the GOTO tool - I will investigate the bug report to see what is going wrong. I think that you are right that if you are coming from a more classical AP background then the way that live stacking just starts may feel wrong, but as a beginner tool, the fact ...
