Alex created a new topic ' Guiding - Calibration failing' in the forum. 1 year ago

Hi all,I am starting fresh with astrophotography and facing an issue with guiding that I can't get fixed.The guiding won't start, because of failing the calibration at the "RA drifitng Reverse" step. At the calibration plot I can see that the green dots are starting a line, but the white dots for reverse are continuing this line and not reverting. After 20 tries EKOS aborts the guiding.I am using a EQ5-Pro mount, which is connected via USB to my laptop running Ubuntu with Kstars. Have also tried via ST4 cable, but the same result. Parameters are all default and I have tried several new profiles. The setup is balanced and the GoTo function works when I want to point to a specific star. Manual control from the mount tab works also in all directions.The logs for guiding seems to have only the minimum of information, is there a way to set it to debug ?Did someone have the same behavior with this mount and knows hot to fix that ?If more information needed, just let me know.
