Not really a common occurrence, but I lost some images last night. I had a bad target name and renamed it during the process stream where a few images had already been saved with the bad directory name. Name was Neubula, changed to Nebula. Subsequent images do not appear to be saved to disk. I couldn’t find them anywhere. It was my problem for messing the name up in the first place, but why wouldn’t SGP just start a new directory and save the files there? I couldn’t see anything weird in the log which is at:
Look for OSC028 as the last recorded image. OSC029 - OSC031 never got written to disk, that I could see.
SGPro is designed to generate (and create if necessary) a new file path for every single sequence frame so I don’t have a ready explanation for it. The logs indicate that these files were written to disk and no errors are present. I ran a similar test where I changed the target name while a sequence was running and it behaved as expected.
Created full file name (file does not exist): C:\Capture Data\IC 443 Jellyfish Nebula\2022-04-03\IC 443 Jellyfish Nebula,OSC029,300sec,1x1,20C.fit
Ken, You’re good. I had moved the files from my obs computer to my processing computer and finally found the missing images in an unexpected location. My double-bad. Sorry.
