Thanks for the reply Martin.
I think I’ve gotten to the bottom of it just now. I’m used to opening and running the Mbox windows application that gives you graphical trends of the various parameters. I use this as a clue as to when it is clouding over as the temperature rises. This has caused no issues with SGP, but apparently conflicts with Voyager. If I don’t open the Mbox application, Voyager receives valid data.
On a side note, I’m trying to set up Voyager to utilise ModelCreator (with the aim of more complete automation) and am having difficulties connecting the latest version of MC to it.
If I set MC to connect to either SGP or direct via ASCOM to the Atik camera I have, MC connects straight away and I’m able to perform the model making routine with correct plate solves using Pinpoint.
When I set the profile to connect the camera via 3rd party Voyager I get the following red Error message in the MC Log window;
Error - No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.01.59850
I have Voyager set up to connect to the Atik camera via ASCOM, which it does flawlessly. I’ve tried both connecting MC to Voyager with equipment in Voyager both connected and disconnected, but nothing has any effect.
I’ve sent a support request to Martin over at Astromi so I’ll see what he says.
Setting up new software to astro gear is always a laborious and frustrating process.
