Version 4.5.0.1624 Unusable for me

[astro-sharp]

Hi,

I’ve been an SG Pro user now for many years, using it nightly, when clear, in the UK and in my remote setup in Spain. Firstly, I find issues nearly every time a big new release comes out.

I had to uninstall the new Version 4.5.0.1624 after one night because it keeps reporting my Pegasus focuser has been externally disconnected when it has not. (No such problem with 4.4.1.1441)

It also puts up new warning messages about the safety monitor when I first start the schedule going saying that it will run end on sequence options if I don’t intervene. I start my schedule before dark so I know it is not yet safe! This has never happened with any of the dozens of previous versions I have used.

Lastly, there is a bug where SG Pro ‘forgets’ settings in my targets! This happens randomly and regularly! I am very paranoid now had have to check all target settings before I start the night. For example, it will lose the ‘Rotate through events’ setting. Sometimes it forgets the selected filter or exposure. Very frustrating!

I look forward to any comments

Thanks

Ian.

This isn’t a bug, but I agree it can be handled better. I’ll need to think about it for a minute… trying to satisfy two camps here (yours: start sequence while unsafe and the other: please protect my gear if the weather turns, even if a sequence is not running)

Not sure how to interpret this. Do you have any additional detail?
