I noticed Bressier Messier mount as one of the mount options, and when I tried it it seems to connect. When I bring up the mount control and press an arrow button I get an error saying the command only works when mount is tracking.
I have pressed "Stop" on the HC, and the display now shows Tracking ON. But no change in Ekos/Kstars.
I have not done a GOTO or alignment or anything. This mount is sitting on my patio and I'm just trying to see if I can control it. My plan is to polar align it and then use plate solving.
My wife's CG5 is a bit fiddly in that before it will talk she has to use previous alignment or something to that effect to bypass the alignment part. I don't see that on the HC.
