Peter,
Here’s my procedure in APT
Please be aware that I don’t use APT to launch or run PH2 or any other software like Goto and plate solving etc... mine are all standalone like my EQMOD and Stellarium for my Goto and tracking and PHD2 for my guiding. The only Ascom related function I use in APT is enabling the dither function ( via Guide tab ) in APT so the PHD2 will activate a dither during guiding whilst APT is capturing subs.
Also I don’t use the Focus Aid either or Magnifier tools to focus ( as I use newtonian reflectors I just take short 15 sec subs on a mag 2.5 single Star and use my diffraction spikes to nail tight focus ( similar to a batinov mask but without the mask ) works perfectly every time and takes 5 mins or about 5 to 10 short subs whilst adjusting my EAF focuser
See attached my APT procedure
Hope this helps
Cheers
Martin
