Meridian flip requirement

SGPro does not currently do what you’re asking for, but now is a good time to ask as we gather features for upcoming releases. Please see here:

SGPro 4.4 Backlog - Our Thoughts and Request for Community Input - Sequence Generator - Main Sequence Software (sequencegeneratorpro.com)

Current options for meridian flips are as follows:

  • You may ask SGPro to perform the flip some number of degrees before or after the meridian (not all telescopes support early flips.
  • You may choose an option that will cause SGPro to pause the sequence if the next frame cannot be completed before the meridian (+/- your offset; see first bullet). SGPro will wait and perform the flip exactly on time.
  • If this option is not selected, SGPro will perform the flip after completing the frame in progress.
  • You may choose to pause the sequence and send an alert (to yourself) before a flip begins
  • You may choose to pause the sequence and send an alert (to yourself) after post-flip centering is complete
