SGP is Sequence Generator Pro, it is a work flow management tool for imaging. Give Serge a ring and he can sort it all out for you. Stefan, just Google 'Astro Devices', they are based in Sydney and sell their products world wide. Sorry what is SGP? I am guessing it doesn't stand for Salt, Garlic and PepperДЄre you able to take some photos of the setup and post them here as well? That would be great as it would eliminate another USB connection to my laptop and just have them for my cameras. Where did you buy the Astro Devices Nexus WiFi box from? Are you able to link me to it? Just want to try and eliminate ASCOM control and rely on SkySafari. That sounds like the setup I want to aim for. I have tried ASCOM mount control and was not happy about the choices i had for control, as i prefer a graphic user interface like Sky Safari. I may use SGP to do more in the future, like focus control, but that does not interfere with mount control as it is now, via wifi. I am sure others do it differently but this works well for me. It sounds complicated but is really very simple and only take a minute. The only complication with Syncscan mounts using this method is that your wifi connected via the hand controller port and this means initial alignment has to be done with the hand controller as per normal standalone operation, once aligned you do a Sky Safari alignment on your wifi device and there after Sky Safari will control everything until you shutdown - using the hand controller to Park.

Imaging cameras are connected via USB to the laptop. I use Metaguide to guide (ASI130 guide camera). You would need ASCOM platform 6.2 on the laptop to use SGP with the ASI1600 ( which has an ASCOM driver). I use SGP to manage my imaging and my ASI1600MM-C and filter wheel, or BYEOS for the Canon 450D. I do not use ASCOM mount control yet because Sky Safari is so easy. I have a NEQ6 Pro controlled by Sky Safari Pro via an Astro Devices Nexus wifi box. Image Capturing: AstroLiveUSB/Nebulosity/SharpCap/FireCapture/BackyardEOS

Guiding: Open PHD Guiding/PHD/MetaGuide Telescope/Mount Control: ASCOM/Stallarium Scope (integrates with Stallarium) Image Capturing: AstroLiveUSB & Nebulosity Telescope/Mount Control: EQMac & AstroLiveUSB (unsure how this one works) Software for both platforms (thoughts an opinions?) Not sure if it will work or not but any input would be appreciated!

This also brings in another question on how to conduct a polar/star alignment as well. Both setups look to be doable on both Mac and Windows now that Mac has EQMac.Д«asically I want to know if it's possible to be able to control the telescope via wireless but still have the ability to autoguide and take images. I have a feeling you can only do this using ASCOM drivers. Is it possible to have SkyFi connected to an iPad with SkySafari via wireless to control the telescope and slew to objects easily and being able to autoguide using either PHD/Open PHD Guiding software as well as having the main camera (either my DSLR or ZWO ASI) connected via AstroLiveUSB/Nebulosity/BackyardEOS?

Having a think of revising my current telescope setup to make it easier to manage.
