Recovery disabled in SGP

#1

Post by KathyNS »


Beautiful night last night, clearing after midnight. I set my sequence to start a reasonable time after midnight, and went to bed. Woke up to a beautiful, clear morning, with no dew. And one - count it, one - frame saved. It turned out that a lingering cloud had blocked the guide star, causing the sequence to abort. @#$%!!

I had always had recovery enabled, giving me that annoyingly vague "Something Terrible Has Happened" screen, and having it attempt every ten minutes for 90 minutes. But then I realized that, on the occasions when my rain/dew detection had closed the dome, also causing a lost guide star, that I had had no on-screen indication of an attempted recovery. So I checked into the options, and found that recovery was turned off. Argh!

There's no way I would have turned it off intentionally. I upgraded SGP versions a few months ago. Might that have turned it off?

Oh, well 15 minutes down, 555 minutes to go. :roll:

How frustrating! Hopefully it was just the upgrade that unchecked your box.

how old is your sequence for the target ? , user settings are tied to sequence files, i've upgraded my filter list this year and loaded an older sequence that used the old filters and it gave the old settings which was no good, incorrect filters,focus postions ectt ..

i believe you need to apply user settings to the sequence when you re-edit an older sequence
