Streaking Stars at Centering

Sequence Generator
1

Hello,

Recently I am noticing that just when centering starts the image taken appears to have been taken when the mount has not yet settled. Is there a setting in SGP that I am forgetting to use?

Thanks

Yes, there is a setting to adjust the delay required for your scenario. You can find the help page here:

https://www.mainsequencesoftware.com/Content/SGPHelp/SequenceGeneratorPro.html?TelescopesMounts.html

…and the pertinent excerpt is:

Mount settling time: The time it takes your telescope to settle after a slew has completed. This value is currently only used during the “Auto Center” and “Center Here” processes (this will essentially be the delay between slewing and taking next image).

Thanks a lot.
