Hi Max,

Thanks for your feedback. I had the chance to continue testing today before the clouds rolled in again. Based on your feedback there must have been something odd with my installation or setup.

I could recreate the problems with a freshly flashed 3.5.6 stable (from the Stellarmate repository) BUT I have imported my settings file to not have to start from scratch.

When testing I noticed that while PAA was running the mount triggered a Meridian Flip. That seem to be the symptom of a problem.

Sountermeasure: When I deactivated Meridian Flip in the mount tab (I use the EQMod for an EQ 6R) and run PAA again, the crazy movements stopped and I got a result that was close to reality. Interestingly PAA then worked out even when I re-activated the Merdian flip in the mount tab. Even more interestingly without moving the mount mechanically the result was different at any time (and compared to a backup running 3.5.2). Clouds were stopping me though when I was about to check if I could re-create the PAA results by setting of the Meridian Flip tick box..

I will open a new topic specific for this as this might be of relevance to optimize the code.

Kind regards,

Alex
