Still having difficulty getting a sequence to run in SGP

I may not be running a sequence quite yet but, I'm getting things learned at my own pace. I kicked my tripod and that was it for guiding for last night , although I just closed SGP after plate solving and went to Sharpcap 3.0 and did some "Live Stacking" just for S&G 27 @ 60s frames and 11 @ 90s = 43 minutes of Luminous. The use of dark calibration will eliminate the ampglow in the lower right corner but, I'm getting closer and enjoying the ride on the learning train.

I see a vast improvement over prior attempts.

I test drove Sharpcap, but didn't like it. I eventually went back to my regular programmed viewing.
I've learned to operate in a very narrow band that works for me. And with programs provided, like for the Infinity camera. And Celestron's resident All Star Polar Alignment.

We are in our watering season here. Spring in my location means we get our annual rainfall to grow abundant brush for Brush-fire Season.
My weather station just told me of a new record, 4 days of rain. And I've collected 3.54" of rain this year (Since Jan. 1). And it's coming in day after day of small storms.
What that means is we've been having days and daze of chit weather. If it isn't out and out drizzling, it's cloudy enough to make viewing suck a big toe.
I'm beginning to wonder if I'll be able to remember where my mount is, much less how to run it.



You're doing good Ronnie, just keep swimming.

I just keep pluggin away , one of these nights it'll click and I'll understand what I'm doing wrong. Thanks Sonny and imaging and March madness go hand and hand.
