Slew during platesolve was created by wsuyker
Hi,
In NINA, the telescope settling time and subsequent platesolve start right at the same moment as the slew starts. This results in the plate solve often ocurring during a longer slew unless I set the settling time exceptionally long. I tried both software version 6.2.0_SP6 and 6.5.6_B2, both in administartor mode and without. Platform Windows 10 Pro with all latest upgrades, NINA latest version 1.11 nightly build #122.
Any suggestions to get slew first, then settling time, then plate solve?
Thank you, Willem

Solved the problem myself:
Right after firing up the mount at the start of a new session, I now always execute the ‘sync home’ and ‘set park’ commands, even if the mount was correctly parked and switched off during the previous session. This way, the mount behaves beautifully when executing combined commands like slew & platesolve, slew and do three star polar alignment etc.
Fir the record: I use ascom driver v. 6.2.0SP6
