Regards APT and flips, what was the problem you had? I had that working fairly reliably after a little work, most of which turned out to be "Leave it alone, stupid"
The histogram stretch needed to be left on "auto left" or the short plate solving exposure would be stretched to a white screen and solving would fail. I had tended to fiddle around stretching the histogram manually to see what I was getting and if you did not put it back to auto it failed every time.
If APT dealt with auto focus the way SGP does I would never have made the move.

What camera are you using?
APT - yep, the focus feature has nothing on SGP from what I've seen. Always struggled with getting it working - I always used a bahtinov mask instead.
Flip....was extremely hit and miss for me. It may have been the histogram, who knows!?! Tried getting some support for it and tried everything suggested however I could never get it happening reliably
I want my obs running in a way that I can leave it and trust nothing will go wrong during an image run.....although APT was good, it didn't have the tools I needed to be able to 'set and forget' and image run (the focus and flip)
