Richard created a new topic ' Celestron Nexstar Mount Not Tracking' in the forum. 4 years ago

I have recently purchased a Celestron 127 SLT / Nexstar Alt Az combo and I'm working on setting up an Indi / Ekos setup for it in my basement until the weather clears. I have ran into an issue where the output from Ekos states "Mount Firmware does not support track mode", Doing a test one and two star alignment with the mount it seems to be correct as its not tracking anything.. I have confirmed this by putting pencil marks on both axis and watching them not move over time. The firmware on the Hand Controller is 5.31.9200 and the Motor Controller is 5.18. Is it true that this mount can not track using the IndiLib?

I am using a fresh install from the Kstars setup on Ubuntu 20.04

Please advise.
