Hello Dahu

maybe, this GUI may be run from a hardcoded location

Yes, of course, it fetches the drivers from /usr/bin if not otherwise told.

1 Is that considered as negligeable or not ?

Since I never saw that please send me the log. Did you read that on the driver's GUI or are these values from e.g. KStars?

2- Also, in step 2, I see a 15 min difference in the sidereal time.

This might explain the position difference seen under 1. If sidereal time is wrong, then every position is wrong. Sidereal time depends on location an time both obtained from KStars. I often saw differences of several 5 sec but never 15 minutes. That can be clarified looking at the log.

3- And when I run step 6.1, the mount moves by a few degrees.

In step 4) the mount is moved a few degrees and in 5) Main Control 6.1) Parking Park(ed) the mount moves back to where it started after unpark.

Just in case in you have to redo the log, specify under Options all levels.

Thanks for testing, kind regards, bye, wildi
