Reports "No star found" when star is clearly visible

[Ed M]

I recalibrated several times, checked the configuration, all looks good as far as I can tell.  I used a guide star that the app selected itself.  Nevertheless, I still get "No star found" when the star is clearly there...  please see attached file.

The experts will require your GuideLog and DebugLog to understand what's going on.

Follow the Upload instructions in the PHD2 Help menu.

Choose files with the relevant date in the filenames

As always, you need to provide the logs by using the built in log uploader.  See the top of the forum for Instructions on how to get help with PHD2

I would not have thought recalibration necessary for two reasons:

--PHD2 said I have good calibration and issued no warning alerts.

--The previous night I imaged NGC1499 for five hours using 6-minute sub exposure times, without any issues. Below is the link to that guiding session.
