Chris, thank you for your very thorough coverage of SGPro. One of the few examples of excellent web content if one wants to learn something. However my query is really more so with regards to using SGPro and Sky X. I'm a bit of a novice at this so if I connect one I can't connect the other. I've reached out to both communities and neither has been able to help. As I listened to your PEC and Tpoint video I thought maybe you could provide some insight. Thanks
sorry for the delay - just noticed the comment. This occurs when one is being run as administrator and the other app is not. I would turn off administrator mode for both SGP and TSX and that will likely fix things
Hi Chris, I have carefully watched this video three times, and despite going step-by-step I can never get The Sky X Pro to display the two colored regions on either side of the Meridian mark. I'm sure that there must be some obscure setting that I have yet to discover in The Sky. BTW, I bought your last two books and I am extremely impressed with both the content and quality. They have become my go-to references on Astrophotography. Perhaps you could do a few videos walking us through The Sky X / Paramount setup and configuration you use. Cheers, Bill Smith
Hi Christ, first of all thank you for your SGP, PHD, SkyX tutorials which are very useful for me and I think for many people. I have had a MyT mount for two years and have never implemented the pec ... I saw your tutorial and finally it seems easier than I thought. But I have a question: for security reasons, my camera is oriented at 180 ° and not at 360 °. Can I still configure the pec ? (sorry for my poor english !)
If the camera is inverted - then I think all you do is measure the PE as normal but when it comes to build the correction, use the opposite setting on the pier-side check box. If that makes the PE doubly bad, then just change the setting, and load the PEC again (no need to do the measurement another time).
Hey folks - I think TSX has a bug. It was a while since I did PEC on this mount and just now, I found that the PEC was awful. It triggered a dim memory and I re-loaded my guiding log file and although the scope was pointing to the west of the meridian, I did not enable the 'mount pointing west' box. That seems to work perfectly and I have extremely good tracking. I'll let SB know.
Thank you for posting Chris, I have a MX one to and never really got Periodic error set up correctly. Hopefully next clear night I can giver this a go. Are you suggesting I don't enable the pointing west check mark? I if am on the East side will it make a difference. I believe I have some trees branches on the west side.
@@slmdaddy1 'bug' is not perhaps the right description, anomaly is probably better. I think my camera was upside down and hence it got the polarity confused. The bottom line is, after doing PEC, check the unguided tracking error. If it is a big wave, go back into Bisque TCS, load up the same tracking log and use the opposite E/W polarity.
Wow I wish I had found this earlier. Thank you :)
You're welcome!

I think you may have disabled the limits display - if I recall correctly, there is a setting in the chart elements tab for the planetarium display.
@@astroshed Yes indeed there are two checkboxes. Under Chart Elements->Reference Objects, Telescope East Limit and West Limit. Thank you!
