Hello,

I'm having weird difficulties getting my mount to the right position. It's a Sky Watcher AzEq6 GT with an RPi3+ running Stellarmate sitting scope-top. I'm running KStars 3.1.0 on Linux Mint 19 connected to the Pi over the network.

If I tell EQMod to track something, it goes to the right part of the sky. I then go to Ekos and click Slew to Target. It solves and slews a bit, then solves and slews a bit more. It keeps repeating this over and over, maybe never getting there. I've attached a screen capture of a typical Slew to Target.

Any ideas where to start with this? Is my mount toast or in need of some TLC?

Thanks,

Ralph
