Sequence Generator Pro 2.4.0.2754 (RC1) is released for testing.
SGPro 2.4 (Beta 10 or higher) will require PHD2 2.4.1e or better to function properly: You can download it here: http://openphdguiding.org/snapshots.html
Release Candidate 1 Changes:
- Serious Issue: Fixed an error where opening an image in SGPro might cause the image to become corrupted permanently (due to duplicate header entries)
- Fixed a bug where closing child windows might displace the main SGPro window
- Fixed a bug where sequence end times might be in the past (despite the fact that they should be in the future)
- Added an option where auto focus dark frames only need to be with +/- 2sec of the exposure length to be applied
- Added ability to apply CR2/CRW/NEF darks to auto focus frames (same rules apply to naming these images)
- Removed duplicate XPIXSZ and YPIXSZ FITS header entries
- Disabling image history navigation during image download
- Fixed a bug that could alter the behavior of “Focus on sequence start” in an unpleasant manner
- The auto guider will now always attempt to “settle” prior to taking a light frame (even if the dithering option is not selected).
- The manual rotator direction can now be reversed if your profile has a gear combination that causes the image to be “flipped”
Beta 15 Changes:
- Fixed an issue where the Image History module could sometimes crash SGPro (if your image history had bad data)
- Fixed a bug where aborting a sequence during the guide and settle process would present an error dialog indicating sequence failure
- Fixed a bug where resuming a sequence could sometimes trigger auto focus when you do not have that trigger selected
- Fixed a bug where canceling AF during initialization could result in infinite inward movement of the focuser
- Updated Canon SDK to the most recent version
- Fixed a bug where older sequences could crash when opening dome slaving options
Beta 14 Changes:
- Added support for additional Pinpoint catalogs (USNO and UCAC4)
- Added new GNS option to sound alarm when warning messages are sent
- Fixed an issue where SGPro would crash upon clicking the open sequence menu icon
- Added notification for AF failure due to HFR = 0
- Replaced “Marked as Bad” text with “X” image
- Guiding and settle timeout now set at 15 minutes (from 5). Need some timeout to know to invoke recovery
- Changed “Scope has central obstruction” option to “Disable smart focus”
- Made PHD2 status fetching more robust
- Possible fix for black status bar
Beta 13 Changes:
- Disabled smart focus movements for scopes with central obstructions (will dive deeper into this in 2.5… maybe a 2.4 maintenance release)
- Fixed a bug where the “Mark Bad” button was active for plate solve images
