Hi Wolfgang,
Thanks for taking this up. Please find an analyze file attached.

I tried to activate logs and also activated the debugger. But the log directory is empty. I hope the analyze file gives you enough insights. I could download the session file if this help as well.

The current setting of my "Flip if HA>" if activated is 0.27 hours. I don't remember when and why I set it, but in the past PAA used to work ok and still does with Kstars 3.5.2 as I could confirm last night. Relevant with regards to your hint is that the setting is different to 0.

Maybe of interest: Bruce reported in this chain the same problem and he uses a EQ6R as well.
In case it is relevant: I have to slew east due to a roof inhibiting slewing west and use speed 600x. I start PAA in the initial park position. I haven't tried from other positions yet but just confirmed that 3,5,2 still works fine for me with the same settings.

Do you happen to know if the calculation of the PAA error has been refactored which might explain the different results between 3.5.2 and 3.5.6 (with meridian flip being deactivated on the latter)? I saw this entry about a major refactoring of the align section for 3.5.5. Unfortunately I couldn't use PAA in 3.5.5 as I was affected by the FOV bug.
Kind regards,
Alex
