Hi!
I am constantly having mount issues (EQ6 with synscan upgrade kit in a permanent observatory), where suddenly the mount think it is in some place where it is in fact not. I thought I had fixed this by going through all "snooping" setting and removing all "simulators". But somehow that did not solve things as all the troubles are back again...
Parking seems to function in a way that does not fit with my expectations, as trouble always begins if I have connected and disconnected indi a couple of times due to other issues (in this case focuser trouble). I have a custom park position with the scope pointing south and slightly downwards. How do I check that the park position used by EQMOD is in fact the one it should be and change it in case it is using a wrong parking position?
I also have some alignment issues. They seem to be related to how "sync mode" and "alignment mode". Everything
seems to work if I set "sync mode" to "Standard sync" and "alignment mode" to "nearest point". But if I close kstars and indi and start up again, "sync mode" have switched to "add point on sync", even when I have saved the configuration. Is this normal behavior and should I get things working with "add point on sync" instead of "standard sync"?
Last time I also suddenly began to get some errors related to "horizon limits", something I have never modified. Can I turn this completely off? If I for example uncheck "abort tracking", save the configuration and restart everything, "abort tracking" is on again. It seems to not save this setting?
On top of this, when something goes wrong I can see the mount in kstars, but if I then press "goto" on some object the mount does not move to this object. Neither in kstars nor in reality. Don't know why it would not at least move to the object in kstars. Sometimes it moves, but then suddenly jumps to some other location.
So all in all, it is one hell of a mess
All help and suggestions are very welcome!
Best Regards,
Søren
