SGPro slew error

[jazzin]

Last night I was going to image but got this error when trying to slew to a bright star for my frame and focus routine in SGPro.

"Cannot complete slew! The requested coordinates is ... The horizon is set to 0.0.'

I had imaged with the same setup the night before and it worked fine.

Does anyone know what caused SGPro to throw this error, when it worked fine the previous night?

I'm hoping just a reboot will fix the problem.

Thanks.

Did the reboot work?

what other software are you loading for the mount ? i've seen this type of error before with my si tech software and sgpro, adjusting the mount limits fixed it , check if you have meridian and horizon limits enabled in other software and then adjust or disable it, or try clearing star alighnment and re calibrate .

It is strange bc it worked fine just 24 hours before. I'm hoping it was just a glitch in SGPro because I did leave the program open all day and didn't close it from the prior nights session and restart the program. Clearing the star alignment sounds like it might be something to try if it happens again. We will see, I"ve never taken it back out yet to see if it cleared or is still going to throw the error. Thanks for the reply!

The only other program I had open at the time was phd2. I did have the Polemaster software open to polar align but I close it after I finished.

I haven't used SGP in a few years since discovering NINA, but it sounds like SGP thinks the star you selected is below the horizon and you have horizon limits set. I quick plate-solve on the current location should fix it. If not, a re-boot is in order.
