I encountered some issues over the last few nights related to differential slewing and the align module. The mount is a 10u 1000HPS... model is good. But, when I tried to center up two objects last night I ended up with large errors in pointing (2400 arcseconds in one case). I haven't read the log yet to see if it tried to fix this; but apparently it thought that was acceptable. I think the issue stems from 'trust' during differential slewing. Logs attached with verbose logging for both the mount and the align module. Funny part is, some days it's fine. Appreciate you looking. Sorry for the size of the logs.

Your log is read protected.

Try again. I had to authorize you to see it.

Differential slewing is broken indeed: Slewing ends after first iteration and usually the position threshold is not reached! For once it can be that the mount hits the position, as Chris noted, but by the majority of the time it will stay way out of target. I put a merge request which corrects the program flow.
(See www.indilib.org/forum/ekos/14052-rotator...-automaticallly.html too)

I didn’t try it without a rotator. I swapped over to ASCOM/voyager for the clear nights I have.

Thank you for digging through this. I appreciate it.

Updated link to the log. I you guys need more examples, I have a few others with full align/mount verbose logging.

The merge request which corrects the program flow for differential slewing was integrated into KStars Version 3.6.8 stable. Should be available by now.

Hey Toni et al,

It's not working. I installed the latest update today and while it doesn't freeze anymore, it also doesn't center the scope with differential slewing.

Logs attached.

I had some fun sheningans with the new focuser... look around 2030CST for the alignment part of it.

Edit (messing around): I turned off the differential slewing option... and it centered it. Any idea on what that does to my mount? Is it corrupting my model? :I

Thanks for the report! I'm going to analyze the log file.
Meanwhile just have a look at www.indilib.org/forum/ekos/14150-sudden-...ng-kstars-3-6-8.html

Looks like the same issue. Completely forgot paramount has a model too.
