You don't understand. A program must have a thread running to monitor/complete each task. If it's single threaded and downloading an image from the imaging camera, it can't do anything else till it's done. You would send a yield command to the guider to get it to stop so you can get the light frame, then start the guider backup. Basically a signle threaded application is like me, can only do one thing at a time
