Have you come across anything that SGP does and Voyager can't do?

Hang for no apparent reason except you looked at the screen the wrong way.

Sorry, couldn't resist 😉

Not yet. Voyager really is the complete package, though I have found it takes some learning. The focus routine is so much better but for me the real seller is the fully integrated array system. 
Mosaics are probably easier in SGP as it is within the programme whereas the only way I have found to work this in V is via their web access tool which drops the mosaic settings into Roboclip (in V) though that may be my lack of practice. 
You get 45 days full use as a trial, which for you in Spain should be plenty time to find the functionality you need

I'm late to the party, only took a look at Voyager last night. It connected to all the gear with no problems.

The part that gave me an error was the robo focus module.

When I try the V curve wizard it errors with: 'the starting HDF is too big'. 

Any thoughts on how to setup focusing?

I use optec Leo focuser.

Thanks

Start with the rig more or less in focus and it should work fine. You do sometimes have to jiggle around with the robofocus parameters the first time. The Voyager user forum will usually help you out very quickly (they did me).

Voyager assumes you have already focused to within its operating HDF range and will take it from there. It took some playing with mine to get it to focus too. 

My HDF is from 25 down to 8 and success is less than 6.

Thanks, will try until I nail it down.
