Tonight is not going too good, 5-6 guide camera disconnects ,and plate solve fails, mount disconnects ..
found out why my plate solve is failing,sgpro keeps adding star alignment points to eqmod, i star aligned prior acuractly ... well the guide camera just disconnected again as i'm typing this ... any how i had a nap and woke up to complete failure with 15+ star alignment points added to eqmod and at very incorrect locations ... sgpro would not plate solve, giving me 6600 + pixels out error .. , i deleted all the alignments points but the last few and then it plate solved !!!.

Having had to play the 'upgrade' game with the TSS forum. I can state that it's always a good idea to update. But I typically wait a few days just to make sure others are my 'test pilots'.
Normally what happens is vendor 1 makes a change, then because of that change, vendor (2) has to do an update and the cycle continues until someone who is using the older software has a failure. It hard to tell which one caused the problem, but it's nice you got it figured out!!!
