Thank you, thank you, and thank you! I've been wanting to try this but was completely lost and just gave up. I didn't realize Wiki was in the program. I saw comments in the group referring users to the Wiki page but didn't understand they meant inside the application. Again thank you! I can't wait to try this!
Excellent tutorial. One correction i want to mention is for mosaic mode with selected_panels, current behavior is that the total session time is still as if it's for all panels. So if you have total session time of 120 minutes for a 2x3 mosaic, but you only want to collect just 2 panels, then the each panel will collect for only 20 minutes, and thus your partial mosaic will only last 40 minutes even though you set the total session time for 120 minutes. This seems to be confusing for users, so in the near future, i may modify the behavior so that it will reflect what your video showed instead.
Helpful video. I was hoping there'd be something in there about what to edit to shoot southern skies if you are in the northern hemisphere and in EQ mode.
Wonderful video-everything step by step-very well explained. One thing that might be helpful to new users: You must press initialize button even if you don't use EQ mode to allow the alp to work. Also, after you set up a schedule, do you need to leave your laptop/computer on all night for scheduling to work? Thanks again for this-it would have saved me a lot of trial and error if I had seen this before using alp.
Yes you are correct, totally forgot to mention executing the start up sequence should be used whether in EQ mode or not. Also yes, whatever device you run alp on should be on during the entire session. So you’ll have to ensure your Windows PC does not go to sleep!

Thank you very much for this and am really looking forward to trying it out tonight! Great video!
~Been waiting for an idiots guide to setting this up. Great work.

Oh thank you for clarifying that! I never even noticed when I’ve ran mosaics.
