Paul Nixon created a new topic ' Slewing wrong direction' in the forum. 2 years ago

Hi folks,

I am using Astroberry with an EQ5-type mount with AstroEQ. I'm trying to figure out why it is slewing in the wrong direction. Currently, mount is on patio and it's still daylight, but it should at least slew in the right general direction I would think. I don't know if this is significant, but Ekos shows mount type as EQ6.

From what I've read, the most common cause is incorrect location. I have manually configured Kstars to use Mesa, AZ as my location, and as far as I can tell, it appears latitude and longitude are correct (33:24:53 and 248:10:19). UTC is correct (for now) at 2022-5-24T0:57:45, though I notice in INDI control panel, under mount "site management" this does not appear to update in real time?

In my testing, I
- purged all configuration.
- right-clicked on mount location (near Polaris) and told Ekos to goto that position and set it to park.
- slewed to Mizar, but the mount slewed West.
- Parked and unparked mount.
- enabled "Reverse DEC" in INDI control panel.
- Slewed to Mizar - mount slewed West again.

To help you help me, I should provide logs - what specifically? Ekos "INDI" and "Mount"? Should I also include "Mount" driver?

Thanks
