Re: Controlling FocusCube2 Through Pocket Powerbox Advance

Hi, These are two different devices so we cannot control the FocusCube through the PPB Advance. FocusCube has its own software and ASCOM drivers. The PPB Advance has an external Focus Motor which is plugged via the EXT port. Any other controller (including the FocusCube) is used as a normal USB devi...

Re: FC and Astro Photography Tool (APT)

No, you do not have to pre-focus.
Just make sure that you are close to focus point and let the imaging software do the auto-focus routine by doing a V-Curve focus.

All modern software (APT, SGP, NINA) use the V-curve model so you can use any of them with excellent focus results.

Re: Switch problem on start of SGP sequence

We'll investigate why this happens with new SGPro.
Sure thing is we haven't changed something and it is triggered from newer SGPro so the issue maybe has to be fixed there.

Re: Flats have ripple - FlatMaster 150

Seems like some kind of noise passing through the Cmos camera.
Can you try to play with exposure and brightness of the panel (try to increase the brightness a little bit for better SNR)
