Question Slew to Tracking Not Completing

I have the M-Uno running the latest software and under control of NINA my first slews after alignment do not finish and change to tracking mode. The mount does properly move to the target and the RA & DEC values stop changing but it remains in slew mode and does not change to tracking mode so NINA can continue the sequence.

Not sure if the mount is the issue or the ASCOM driver not updating the status change. Any thoughts.

Hi Rick
Did you also update the firmware to the corresponding StarGo version?
Same happened to me when I updated to StarGo 7 and forgot to update the Firmare to version 7 too.

I think both are current but I will check and reload everything to be sure.

Hi Rick,
I think I saw the same behaviour exactly once and solved it by restarting the mount...
If I remember correctly, I had an issue with my Laptop that day and rebooted it while the mount was already connected. Normally I first start/wake up the Laptop and only then connect the mount. So may be something doesn't get initialised properly in the mount/driver when the Laptop detects the mount during startup.
I didn't see this error again, so may be it really has to do with the order of powering things on. Which of course would be a firmware/driver issue...

I encountered the same problem again yesterday. The only thing that helped was restarting the laptop. Restarting the mount and reconnecting did not help! I guess the driver was in an undefined state and didn't unload by closing the connection and terminating the StarGo window. So only rebooting helped which is a bit annoying...
