ASI294MM Pro

Aragorn

I have been using the asi294MC Pro for the past year and have had no problems. I thought that I would give the asi294MM a go. I use Sequence Generator Pro to capture the images. When I hooked up the mono I was able to capture the Northern Vale in Ha, SII and OIII. Due to the weather I was unable to get back out for a week. When I did get out the mono would not plate solve. It became unusable. No settings were changed. I reverted back to the color and it worked fine in SGP. Has anyone else experienced this with the ASI294MM PRO? Any suggestions?

Not knowing anymore than you mentioned I would guess it may have to do with image scale for plate solving and binning in the MM vs the MC. Bin 1 in the MM activates the smallest pixel size and smallest image scale vs the MC bin 1 which is standard pixel size and corresponding larger image scale. The image solving properties throughout SGP have to be consistent to successfully plate solve. Take a look at image scale in bin 1 when you switch cameras. Bin 1 is the default for plate solving and they are different image scales between MC and MM which will cause plate solving to fail if you switch without changing your equipment properties either when you switch cameras or by changing equipment profiles. Happened to me and your problem sounds similar.
