Hi everyone

Before flip: capture and guide stopped
flip
After flip: alignment ok, capture restarted, but guiding is not restarted.
I think that this is related to this:

I have other problems with the scheduler, guiding and meridian flip is not one of them, though. They seem to work pretty reliably.
Have you tried running a capture sequence that includes various filter wheel changes? Is that working for you?
I am using the stable 2.9.7 version, NOT the nightly build.

PS: I am using the internal guider, though, not PhD2.

Hi. No, this is a simple setup with a DSLR, an eq6, and phd2. If the guiding is stopped (error, flip, etc) it stays stopped. I need to intervene manually; abort the scheduler and capture, the restart the scheduler. This is with both stable and (last) night's) build. Testing ATM with the latest bleeding. Fingers crossed:))
Cheers

Why are you not using the internal guider instead of PhD2?
Makes for a more painless operation and it works just as well as PhD2.

The internal guider doesn't have any of the guide algorithms.

I'm not sure what you mean. It has several guide algorithms and in my hands at least it yields pinpoint stars at <1" guiding deviation. I use the default Smart algorithm.

Hi. I think the internal guider brings the star back to a fixed point. No hysterisis, low pass or PPEC for example.
Cheers and clear skies,

Maybe not, but the result is excellent. This is what I am getting with the internal guider.

Tonight's build: Fixed. The flip worked and guiding was resumed.

Alas, still not quite there:
