Where is the Log in AA+?

I reported a bug in Guide calibration with my iOptron SkyHunter. I was asked to change my settings. I did a retest and uploaded the Log to ZWO Bug Report. They told me that the Log was empty and redo it. In another thread here Chen suggested that the Log was written after an Autorun completed successfully. I ran Guide calibration and AA+ reported that it failed. I tried to start guiding without a calibration but it started calibration again. I stopped it and started an AutoRun of M31. 60x 60sec, ASIair533MC, gain 200, bin2x2, Nikkor AF300/4 lens and Optolong L-eNhance filter (dual band Ha/Oiii). I have no clue as to whether a Log was created and my data was included in the upload. I'd like to see that Log.

Why is ZWO silent about how/when the Log is created and how a user can look at that Log?

If you are using an external flash drive to save your images and you plug that into a computer, you will see the following directory [folder] structure:

ASIAIR
-- Autorun
-- Live
-- log
-- Plan
-- Preview
-- Stacked
-- Video

The Autorun and Guide (PHD2) logs will be in the log directory.

To look at a Guide log (and make some sense of it) you need to download and run the PHD2 Log Viewer. You can get it from here:

https://openphdguiding.org/phd2-log-viewer/

In looking through my logs, I always have a corresponding Autorun and PHD2 log file although in one case I started playing with guiding about one half hour before midnight and started the Autorun imaging after midnight so they had separate dates on them.

I checked and there is no Log directory in AA+ v2.0-10.46. I haven't used my AA Pro recently and I've read that it has the Log directory.

The good news is that this new version of AA+ has a mount selection for iOptron SkyHunter. Hopefully it will calibrate PHD guiding when attached to the SH.
