John,

I wonder if you have figured out a way to reduce the nightly build up of SyncImage files on the hard drive. I just had another great night of imaging (and sleep) with CCDAutopilot 4 but accumulated 84 syncimages at 8.2 MB each on the hard drive. I usually manually delete these files each morning but wondered if had a way in CCDAP to optionally delete them following a run.

I'm running XP on a Mac Mini in the observatory and am limited to 45 GB on the HD so a few GB's of SyncImage files accumlated over a few sessions take up valuable space.

If there is no option in CCDAP I'll keep deleting each morning but thought it couldn't hurt to ask.

Wes,

It sounds like you have Trace ON, which prevents deletion of successful plate solving. Go to Help/Troubleshooting and uncheck Trace.

Nice diagnosis. I do have Trace on (leftover from beta testing days) and will gladly turn it off.

Thanks for the fast response John.
