Re: AVX not slewing in right direction
Doing the AVX alignment routine is the only way I learned to get the mount to learn where it is in relation to the sky from my location. It's the same routine I've used since I learned how to do this back in 2016. It's always worked except for a couple times usually when I switch the clock in the mount from Standard to DST.JayTee wrote: ↑Wed Mar 13, 2024 11:53 pm I've had this happen in another image acquisition software title, APT. My fix was to shut everything down (software, computer, telescope mount) restart everything, and then invoke the software in the order I have to to get everything to talk to everything. But I align differently than you do. I use plate solving to do my alignment. It's faster and since I've started doing this I've had no more "misdirection" problems.
Cheers,
Anyway I think I understand what going with the mount now. For some reason it's not syncing with the last star I calibrate on. It still thinks it is in the home position. So I'm assuming if I tell the mount to Go to Home position after I finish calibration procedure, it will work.
Not sure what setting controls that function though
