Dither with Metaguide in 3.1.3?


mirx@comcast.net

Question

Is there any guidance on how to set up dithering with Metaguide?  I installed the new 3.1.3 version but I'm having problems getting it to work.  Under Settings, I changed the Dither Provider from PHD to Metaguide.  Then I activated dither.  When the 1st frame finished, BYEOS displayed the message "PHD Port" and in the status window in the upper left corner, said dithering failed...could not connect to PHD.  (these are not exact quotes since I didn't write it down when I saw it last night).  2 Questions:

 

  • It sounds like BYEOS was looking for PHD even though I had selected Metaguide in the settings?
  • Other than selecting Metaguide and pressing the Dither button, is there any other setup needed to dither with Metaguide?  Any Metaguide settings to change?

Thanks,

 

Matthew

Hi Mathew,

 

MetaGuide support in 3.1.3 is in beta as the the change log... in fact you are the first one using it :)

 

If should not sat PHD Port, looks link your change may not have taken effect.  Please send me the log files at support@otelescope.com.

 

Thank you
