Merdian flip bug was created by Guillaume
Dear there !
Few days ago I had an imaging session with my Linear an NINA as acquisition software.
I was shooting the Iris Nebula which was supposed to change meridian at 2h36 local time.
So I did setup the meridian flip 2 minutes after passing the meridian but a weird thing occurred.
The mount flipped, Nina solved the image, and then the mount went East side just after !
Then no matter what I could do, the Linear didn't want to go West.
I hat to reset the mount, set home position again and goto my object.
No options like "no meridian flip" was checked inside the stargo client.

Thanks for your help.

Dear Guillaume

We still didn’t noticed the bug that you reported, so we are starting to investigate about it.

In order to better understand the eventually issue, please provide us your mount configuration file.

Watch the following tutorial video to know how to save it:



However, to check if the problem could be due to some third party software, did you try with some other software such as SGP?

Also, could it be due to the Autocentering Plate Solve function of the NINA software?

Let us know about

Best regards

Stefano

I currently use the Linear.mcf file but I'll save a custom one as soon as I'll be near my mount.
Note: It would be great that some features could be accessible without pluging the mount.
