Hi friends, sorry for my english, i'm having trouble configuring astroberry. I want to use Ekos/Kstars to control a celestron mount, model Cgem.
After connecting the mount to the raspberry using a serial adapter on the hand controller and then pressing the buttons (enter) on the controller it is possible to control the mount by sending kstars commands to search for objects and also make the plate solver successfully.
But if I just turn on the mount and don't press the controller's buttons (enter), the Ekos/Kstar system recognizes the mount, but does not recognize its position, through Kstars I can make RA and Declination movements, but when I send a command search, the montage moves to another point entirely.
As I want to control the assembly remotely in another city, I won't be able to press the buttons to make everything work.
what I would like was:
- Turn on the mount
- Enter the position coordinates it is currently in (pointed to the south pole)
- From my coordinates and time, I believe the system would know where to move the telescope, even if it doesn't hit the object
- Make a plate solver for the assembly sync its position correctly
- So I would have control of the assembly.
My question is: is this possible? is there any configuration that needs to be done in the system to force the location of the telescope position?

regards
