The manual and the tool tip say two different things for the file naming convention for focus run darks. Which/What is correct?
Does it have to be fit or can it be CR2 (I have a Canon DSLR)?
Does SGP just use one dark frame for a given focus exposure length?
Thanks,

It can be CR2. I believe whatever you have selected in the camera properties – CR2, FITS, or CR2+FITS. (I personally recommend people stick with CR2.)

This didn’t fully answer my question.
XXX_name.cr2 where xxx is the number of seconds or XXXSec_name.crs.
Tool tip says one thing, manual says another.

It depends on what version of SGPro you are using.
- Both 2.3 and the current 2.4 beta only support FITS darks
- SGPro 2.3 requires exact naming like 2.0_mydark.fit (this is a bug)
- The next 2.4 beta will allow for exposure time +/- 2 sec (4 sec exposures will apply the closest dark file within 2 seconds)
- The next 2.4 beta will allow for CR2/CRW/NEF dark frames in addition to FITS
- The help file and tooltips all match and say the same thing now
Thanks for the report.
