For example, I have a “Canon 1200D” profile, a “ZWO178MC-Cool” a “ZWO1600MM pro” profile, and so on. In the video I’m using “exampleprofile” but it would be wise to name your profile after the gear you are setting up. Go to the upper left box and type your new setup name in the box under “Select or name a profile”. The first thing you need to do is to give your profile a name.

During susbsequent nights, you simply select the profile of the astrogear you are using, and sequence generator pro will automatically adjust its settings to that profile. This is really useful, as you only need to go through the setup process of the different kinds of gear you might have once and save it as a “new profile”.

Well, sequence generator pro kinda expects you have different setups, and it enables you to save those different setups in the equipment profile manager. For example, after being in this hobby for several years, I have worked with a DSLR camera, a dedicated ZWO ASI 178MC color camera, and now I’m mainly using my ZWO ASI 1600MM pro. This is actually a pretty clever menu that enables you to store multiple combinations of astrophotography setups. You can find it by clicking on the “Tools” menu, and then selecting “Equipment Profile Manager”. In sequence generator pro, all your astrophotography gear (camera, filter wheel, telescope, auto guiding, and so on) can be setup using the “equipment profile manager”.

How to setup your camera in sequence generator pro My own experience with using astro software is that practice makes perfect. If the first session doesn’t go as planned, that’s OK. It will take some time to master sequence generator pro. Also, be prepared to go through some learning curves. In order to limit the chances of that happening, you can already setup and test your gear during daytime. It can be quite frustrating to run into a snag on a clear night – believe me, I’ve been there.

As a side note, It is probably wise to perform most of these steps during daytime. My main goal is to enable you to get your basic astrogear (camera, mount) working in sequence generator pro. Note that there are many other options available in sequence generator pro which I’m not covering.

How to setup your first imaging session.

I have divided this guide into different parts: I have created videos and screenshots which are embedded in this guide in order to help you get up and running as quickly as possible. My main aim was to make a comprehensive, illustrative guide that would help astrophotographers to setup and use sequence generator pro. Being an astrophotographer myself, I know you probably want to get this program up and running without having to read through every little detail this program has to offer. Unfortunately it is also is 216 pages long.

Of course, sequence generator pro has its own online guide which you can find here. Indeed, it can be quite daunting the first time you open sequence generator pro and see the many buttons, options and menus. I’m guessing you clicked on this link in search for a comprehensible guide to sequence generator pro.
