Live fails to save when actual coordinates are used.

blang68

Last night I had a strange problem in saving live stacked images. I have successfully saved my live stacking images many times, I had always skewed to the targets using named objects in the AA+ database. This time I could not find the object I wanted to photograph (Rosetta Nebula) so I entered the correct coordinates in the goto box and the mount skewed plate solved and centered on the target. I did test exposures and then used the best results in the live view and set the time for the live stacking. After starting everything seems to be normal proper number of subs were stacked but when I went to look at the images this morning there was nothing there! A bug or operator error?

The "Rosette Nebula" itself is known as Caldwell 49 or Sharpless 275.

In ASIAIR, do a search for them under Category (the "hamburger" icon on the top right), and look for C49 in the "C Objects" catalog, or SH2-275 in the "SH2 Objects" catalog.

It is just another inconsistency in ASIAIR -- Messier catalog is not listed as "M objects," but Caldwell catalog is listed under "C Object," and the Sharpless catalog is listed under "SH2 Objects."

you can upload log if you find any problems

It may have saved the image file or files in the folder for the previous target, if that target was named. So if you viewed M42 just before the Rosette Nebula, look in the M42 folder. ASIAir uses, for bette4 or worse, a folder naming scheme based on target name.

By the way, you could use NGC 2244, the open cluster at the center of the nebula, or any of the NGC designations for parts of the nebula, for your go-to.
