My mount occassionaly makes a large jump in dec which requires me to get rid of perfectly good frames. I have the alignment preferences set to check alignment every 10 frames and realign if the error exceeds 30 arcmins (the defaults). My FOV is 597x400. The jump is at least ½ FOV. Is there something else I need to do to enable the alignment check? I am running the latest version of Kstars/Ekos on an RPi4. Thanks.

Good to hear. I ended up getting one and am having some weird issues. The park and unpark work just fine in the scheduler. But the light turns on when it unparks. Ekos tries to turn it off but an error pops that says the light can't be controlled when in the unparked position. I've updated to the latest firmware but that didn't help. How do you set it up in Ekos? Do you assign it as an aux device? And do you then assign it as the cover and light box in you optical train. I feel like those are dumb questions because I'm not really sure there is another way to do it.

I'm thinking of purchasing this, but I'm not completely following the issue you're describing. What's the bottom line? Unusable with Indi? Thanks.

I have a ZWO 2600mm, EAF, and Rokinon 135mm. As Ekos gets close to the perfect focus, it no longer detects any stars. It’s like the star it picked (auto star selected) focuses itself down to something too small to detect. I’ve tried changing (and tweaking but I don’t really know what I’m doing) the star detection algorithm to no avail. I think if I could force it to pick a bigger star (I’ve tried selecting “big stars”) it might work, but I have been unable to force it to do it. Any help is appreciated. Thanks. -Tim

What are the steps you go through to do this? I’ve always been interested in PEC training, but didn’t know where to start. I have a CGX by the way. Thanks.

Trying to do this, but get this error:
2023-01-28T23:49:51: [ERROR] Cannot continue without connection to motor controllers.
2023-01-28T23:49:51: [ERROR] Got no response from target ALT or AZM.
This is the first time I've tried to connect my CGX using the AUX driver and connecting it directly to the mount. I've followed the AUX driver directions from the webpage.

I was running a session last night. This was my first run with 1.6.1. EKOS crashed, and the logs spit this out
[2021-11-14T00:23:08.558 CST CRIT ][ org.kde.kstars.fits] - Debayed memory allocation failure. Required Memory: "173.5 MiB" Available system memory: 1.679e+09
Full log is attached. I'm not sure what was happening at the time since I was asleep. Maybe an alignment after a meridian flip? I have been having issues with that with the pervious version of SM. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

For those who were on the edge of theirs seats wondering if this is fixed in 1.6..... it is.
