Guide Log
SUMMARY
Since 3.5.0, I have been unable to rely on SEP-MultiStar guiding (it worked
very well prior to that). It starts the calibration process but quickly loses
the guide star even though it is centered in the middle of an
appropriately-sized selection box. This can happen 5, 10 times in a row. It
usually happens quickly, but sometimes I can almost make it through to the end
of calibration and other times I can start guiding but it fails within minutes.
I tried guiding in different parts of the sky east/west, tried changing
selection box sizes and calibration pulses, etc. When I can guide, the SNR is
typically 400+ so I don't think that's the issue.
When switching from SEP-MultiStar to Smart, it works immediately and reliably
every time, even with the same guide star.
ALSO: SEP MultiStar sometimes selects double stars. I'm not sure Smart does
this (it seems to be better, but maybe I just never had a need to watch it).
GUIDE LOG ATTACHED.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set guiding settings to default.
2. Change to SEP Multi-Star
3. Attempt to guide.
OBSERVED RESULT
The guide star is lost 9 out of 10 times.
