INDI Library v2.0.6 is Released (02 Feb 2024)

Bi-monthly release with minor bug fixes and improvements

scheduler (?) wrong alignment after flip

It was sending J2000 to Ekos but Ekos expects everything in JNow. So this is fixed in GIT.

There is another option I'd recommend to turn on in Configure --> Ekos --> Capture --> Reset Mount Model After Meridian Flip

You can see several “9 hours ago” and “10 hours ago” and dates. The hour values will increase until they reach 24 and then a new build will be done. So you need to wait for another 15 hours at least before the fix is in.

Looks as though the fix didn't make it, although would the change from j2000 to jnow make such a difference?

Oh dear:(


**maybe on this occasion it was more due to the failed flip ?

Looks indeed like it is related to the failed meridian flip:
[2018-08-23T00:20:29.094 CEST INFO ][           org.kde.kstars.indi] - EQMod Mount :  "[ERROR] Error: Communication failed -> tty write failed, check connection: Error: unrecognized error code "

EDIT sorry I was wrong. Ekos successfully reconnects to the mount and then alignment succeeds:

Silly question but are you sure that the offset was created after the meridian flip? What happens if you stack only the images from before the flip? Or maybe easier, can you check the center of FOV of all images and identify which ones are where you expect them and which ones are off?


Cheers, Wouter

The mount was not responsive after the meridian flip. Maybe the flip touched the cable and it got disconnected? I also just updated EQMod driver to retry connection after a tty failure, but it's not yet tested.
