My Mount:
ZEQ25:
Handle: 130722
R.A. board: 130312
DEC board: 130312
The problem I get:
Firstly, I start do a single star align to Arcturus and wait for the GPS to say OK to my location. Then I use the handset to slew to Jupiter. I then use KStars to connect to the handset/mount.
When I connect to my mount using IEQ45Pro it doesn't get the correct longitude. The IEQ45pro icon shows below horizon. I can tell KStars to sync IEQ45pro to Jupiter and the icon jumps to Jupiter. If I then try to slew to another object the mount DOES move but never stops as I have the setting as OK to slew below horizon. I disengage the gears and let it spin until finally turning off the mount as the motors just keep running. I then disconnect driver from the mount in KStars.
Here's the log in summary:
