No active target in SGP

#1

Post by jazzin »


When I try to slew to an object by manually clicking the 'Slew' button in SGP, I get the message, 'There are no active targets', even though I have my target selected in my list. Has anyone else encountered this before? And how do you fix it?

Thanks

II think it will do that if all the target's events have completed. If you are trying to take more frames of the same target, add the new frames before slewing.
