--- Comment #23 from mountainai...@outlook.com --- Quick update: 3 weeks ago when I had difficulty with this issue, I switched to PHD2 and had success. This last Friday night, I had focused with the PHD2 HFD indicator but then decided to switch back to KStars. Well, KStars seemed to work -- but I'm not sure. "Magically working" implies that it was perhaps the focus of this problematic 30/120mm guide scope that was causing the issue with star detection in KStars. However, all night I couldn't get the additional "multi-star" circles to show up. SEP Multi-Star was definitely selected, but regardless if I used AutoStar or not it just didn't seem to pick other stars to include in the tracking session. So, I'm not sure that SEP MultiStar was being used, and if it wasn't being used, then maybe focusing didn't help -- because this issue only showed up in SEP Multistar. The single-star guiding actually worked well all night, though (seeing was above average). I did not have a chance to try Jasem's SEP profile settings changes yet. Suggestion: Normally when using KStars I would try to focus using the Focus module (and changing the camera to the guide cam). However, focus drifts easily with this little guide scope. It is very convenient having the HFD visible in PHD2, so I think it would be great to add a focus indicator to the KStars guiding module as well. Then maybe you could even alert the user if focus drifts enough to possibly affect guiding. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
