Settings for Dithering with Metaguide

[astronut892010]

All,

 

I have been pleased with the integration with PHD2 and seamless dithering.  However, the guiding with PHD2 with my setup has been problematic.  I am having great success with Metaguide,  but cannot figure out how to configure Metaguide to dither with BYE 3.1.16.

 

Can anyone point me to the right settings in MG or BYE that I may be missing?

Thank you,

Then, I guess I do not need to upload a log since the evidence is in the subs themselves.  Each one varied slightly from the others in their location of stars which is the purpose of dithering.  I am much happier with the performance of MG so far as compared to PHD2.  Thanks for a great integration with your product.

I was just very confused with the nearly instantaneous change and cooldown of MG as compared to PHD2.  I would usually wait a minute or more for PHD2 to dither, then settle as compared to MG which is mostly the cool down.

Thanks,

Jay

Guylain,

 

Thank you.  I did change that setting, but when I tried to dither, nothing happened.  Only a cooldown, but no apparent communication between BYE and MG.

Am I missing something?

Guylain,

Is there a way I can confirm MG did dither and change the image.  The effect to cooldown was almost instantaneous.  PHD2 normally took almost 1 minute or more.

Send me the log file.  I'll ask Chris to look at it since his the one that did the MetaGuide integration.

I will admit that not we have not had a lot of feedback on the Metaguide integrationg with users so it's been one of those features that is not getting a whole lot of exposure.

I am having trouble uploading the log files.  Can you give me a pointer on how I can share a 4MB file?

 

Thanks,

Jay

Don't try to share all your log files. Pick one file that was being used when you tried dithering and just upload that one. Or delete those old log files and create a new one that demonstrates the issue.

Thanks Rick. Unfortunately, the only one I have is 4MB while dithering.  I will try again to generate a shorter session with dithering to upload.  I went back and looked at the individual subs and it seems to be working properly.  I was just very surprised at how quickly MG dithers vs PHD2.

Thanks,

Jay

Oh yes, MG dithering is instant... almost.

Perfect, I'll mark this thread as solved then.
