ST4 Enabled Checkbox was created by MRPUGH55
Hello. I have a new M-Zero mount that is giving me a headache. The drift in RA is really quite wild. Two images separated by 60 seconds show almost 8 arcsecs in drift (in attachment), despite a very good, if not excellent polar alignment. The camera is aligned to north. Guiding is at a default 0.5, and I am using an OAG with a SBIG STi (tried binned and unbinned). I have tried auto tracking adjust with no change. I am using PulseGuide to guide the mount, so should the ST4 checkbox be checked or unchecked? Thanks. Martin

I can see the support from Avalon is non existent. Glad I bought your mount.

I'm sorry an Avalon representative has not responded. Some time ago, an Avalon representative (Stefano) told me customers should request assistance via the CONTACT US web page. That worked well for me. Avalon seemingly views the Forums as the vehicle for users to exchange information. By the way, I do not know the answer to your question. If you can, please post a follow-up after contacting Avalon. Thanks, /jim

Hi Martin,
Did you see that Stefano replied to your other post and asked for more information?

Hello

In order to better understand the system, please provide us a PHD2 log file with calibration and 2 or 3 sessions of about 5 minutes exposures time, by using your OAG system.

If you are using an ASCOM pulse guide system, doesn’t matter if the ST4 checkbox is checked or not.

Furthermore, we are also available for a remote desktope session by using the AnyDesk app. In case you are agree with that, we can plan it in a comfortably time for both of us.

Best regards

Stefano

i ve the m-zero for a year and i have the same problem, it s always drifiting, but it s a problem on all avalon mount, the m uno and linear. ITs better since the autoadjustement but not perfect yet The best way i found is to adjust the tracking speed slider manually, i . i watch the drift and i try to find the best number..but it often changes and it s not predictible
