Our club has a 12" LX200R. I've been having a couple of issues.

1) When I sync there always seems to be a offset of 10minutes of RA. So if I sync to 12h40m12s after syncing it reports it is at 12h50m12s. This is after a manual sync or if a solver syncs it doesn't matter.

2) Sometimes when I connect it seems like the offset is even greater like 90 degrees. Usually I can park and reset a few times to get it to work normally but I still end up having issue #1. I thought it might be a time issues. I've never been able to have it use the GPS successfully from INDI. When just using the handpad it gets gps find and is able to goto objects fine. From INDI if I turn on GPS and have it use GPS I always get an error about not being able to process the time, like "2035-23-48T01:05:00"

Does anyone have any experiences with this. I originally was trying to capture the log just for #1 but I was in a hurry last night and just kept getting #2. So I only have the log for #2.

I feel like this is an operator error on my part, like I need to do some steps to make it works correctly, but I am not sure what. I am hoping that people can use this remotely so I hope the steps don't involving having to physically use the handpad first before connecting, but what to do would be good to know at least for when people are on site to use.

Thank you.
