I agree completely on "new" targets. When I have a clear shot again, I fully intended restarting my "Odd" list of GX and PN's. With my severe light pollution and treeline around, it can be a challenge. I have a real spot for PN's and face-on GX.

Used V2.1.29 and it auto meridian flipped, reacquired the guide star, I had it do a sequence of three galaxies and it went to each, plate solved and put the center of the galaxy within 30 pixels in two center here operations. Plate solving and sequencing was perfect. Very happy with it.
With some cloudy nights approaching, I might get out to the obs and try this one.... I'm frequently amazed at what SGPro does for the price they charge...

Sounds like you are a convert, Lee and I agree with you.

Thanks Ross but I have a few more up my sleeve when time permits.
