Bus 001 Device 079: ID 1278:0507 Starlight Xpress Lodestar autoguider
Bus 001 Device 081: ID 1278:0507 Starlight Xpress Lodestar autoguider
There is one Lodestar camera each for SHOC and Sibonise. If you see one Starlight Xpress in the list, it might just be the one you need (SHOC or Sibonise), so try the next steps. If you do not see the any Starlight Xpress listed then the cameras are not detected on the USB ports and the icron devices probably need power cycling (call electronics standby).
Once any rogue processes are killed and the cameras are connected, start the autoguider GUI:
cd /home/observer/GS_FC
python genfinderLesediFeb2020.py
 
This brings up a finder chart and a coordinates box. You're now ready to [[#Backup autoguiding procedure|guide use the backend autoguider software]].
