Plate solve every # frames to recenter target as needed
Issue #203
resolved
Suggestion from CN: plate solve, recenter, and sync every N frames during a sequence. Good for poorly aligned mounts used without auto-guiding (e.g. 10Micron mounts)

The workaround still requires a re-slew does it not? If so, it would be good to have it solve, sync and then only if outside the error threshold re-center.

I came here to file a feature request for this and was looking for a similar feature request to avoid a duplicate.
My mount (Dobsonian Goto) also keeps drifting away from the target. Because it’s alt-az, I have to deal with both field rotation and drifting. I deal with field rotation by taking a very short sub (say 6 sec ~ 10 sec). If I can keep the target in the center by periodical platesolving - slew - center, it’d be great.
A workaround seems a bit awkward. If I want to re-center every 50 frames for, say 1000 subs (of 6 seconds long), I need to have 20 sequences. If an option to re-center (platesolve - slew - center if necessary) every N frames can be added, that’d be very convenient for people like me with a mount that does not track very well.

Because I can’t reopen this issue, I’m afraid this issue won’t get any attention from the development team. I’m mentioning one of them to get their attention. Sorry, @Stephan B for bothering you, but I’d very much appreciate if you could consider this feature request. Thanks a lot, in advance !

Solved in advanced sequencer. Just add in a “centre” to your sequence whenever you want it

Thank you. I’ll try advanced sequencer in a nightly build.

Workaround is to define multiple targets with the same coordinates
