Hi,
m-zero user here. Latest stargo drivers, everything working great.

I want to use the no-meridian flip feature of my mount.

when I select “disable meridian flip” in the stargo settings, it says I need to restart. Also after doing this, my mount now slews in the opposite direction to the target (which is much further than it needs to move).

Are both of these behaviours expected, and is there a workaround?

thx,

d.

Hello

The restart after selecting the "disable meridian flip" feature is an action required because that parameter needs to be saved and read by the StarGo as active at the software start.

After the StarGo restart, another Sync Home Position it will be required.

In this way the slew direction should be fine.

Best regards
