HI Bruce-san,

I asked Andy-san about the following and he said he would ask Bruce-san about it, but I have not received any response since then.

When I start the exposure loop, a dark star appears as a green circle apart from the guide star, what does this mean?

Best regards,
nabePla

These are “left over” positions of secondary guide stars from the preceding guiding session. There is a stabilization period after guiding starts before the secondary star positions are re-computed and re-displayed on the screen. It’s irrelevant to the guiding performance.
