HELP ! new to sequence generator pro

[red dwalf]

hi all, downloaded the program, with help from a local chap we managed to set up the equipment parameters and we had a target set of m33, Saturday night it slewed to target of m33 as it was al;ready in the target list and the program seemed to work fine, last night i tried for myself on the veil but i could not for the life of me work out how to add a target into the top left box let let alone slew to it, some how he added a target and it popped up as an image on the screen and it would show the frame size of my camera, any help getting me going again gratefully received.

P.S. i have tried reading the instructions from the website, i`m still only a quarter of the way through, it`s a long manual.

You need to go into the Framing & Mosaic Wizard: http://www.mainsequencesoftware.com/Content/SGPHelp/SequenceGeneratorPro.html?HelpersWizards.html

It's brilliant. Good luck!

You can always just add a new target manually and enter the RA & Dec yourself.

Have you checked that your sequence has an associated equipment profile that includes a plate solve option (such as Platesolve2)?

Yep I've added plate solve 2, Download an image of NGC 6992 so let's see what happens tonight, fingers crossed

If you want to add a target manually without using the Framing/Mosaic Wizard, on the top left Target List box on the sequencer panel just click the + symbol icon below the Target List. Then clicking on the cog wheel next to the target list entry you can edit the RA/Dec coordinates. If you want to then slew to the target right click on the Target List entry and select 'Slew To Target'.
