Testing during daytime always succeeds but it does not include platesolving, which in the log I posted above was what was failing.
I'll need to test at night when there's even a possibility of a star - poor weather outlook for now.

I think I read in the docs for EKOS that MF needed to know which side of the mount the OTA was on. Mine apparently does not, although the OTA is sent to the right side of the mount when I slew to an object in Kstars. Just wondered whether this might be a contributing factor. Is this showing in EKOS for anyone else using the iEXOS-100 mount please ?
