Robostar Focus Routine Fails

I’m having some problems with Robostar focus (see below). The routine ends in error, though local field works fine. What am I overlooking that’s causing the focus routine to fail? Thanks in advance! David

Hello Dandra,

you have problem with your installation … Voyager cannot found the Database with focus stars (last line of attached log). Please redo installation or send us a support request to check your installation from remote with teamviewer.

All the best
Leo

Thanks, Leo! I reinstalled and verified the file was in the correct directory. I will test tonight. David

Let me know David, all the best
