Question StarGO and NINA

Hi,

yesterday I tested NINA with my Muno mount. NINA (v1.11, latest nightly build) was able to connect to the mount ... but only when the StarGO driver window was closed. For example, with APT I used to start the driver before and, thus, was able to configure the driver settings, e.g. star alignment etc.

I found that the driver coordinates were way off. I tried to sync with a platesolve. After that I slewed to M65 but the mount did not stop moving the telescope even though NINA reported that the slew was done. I was not able to align the mount resonably.

Does anybody have tested NINA with StarGO? Do you experience something similar or did I miss some settings in order to get things running?

By the way ... my system works perdectly with APT, PHD2, latest ASCOM, ...

Thanks for all help!!

hi stephan

Nina working well vith stargo, but you need to always use administrator mode when you start the soft.

At first, I had problems connecting NINA and Stargo, but the issue was an obsolete version (3.1.57) that I installed--not sure how this happened, but it did. In any event, with the most recent versions of StarGo, NINA and the Ascom driver, NINA works with Stargo.

Yes--StarGo works with NINA, and with the Linear mount. At least for me in North America (north latitude, west longitude), the trick to get it to work is to click the box to reverse the declination motor. Not sure if this is necessary for east longitude or south latitude.

Also, and perhaps I need to experiment more, PHD2 doesn't seem to work too well if started by NINA; it works very well if started outside of NINA. My guiding results are superb using the recommended PHD2 settings, although I have to recalibrate every time I make a major slew. No big deal--the payoff is great guiding numbers. ,
