Re: Meridian Flip - Stopped Working
|
Check that prior to the flip you have performed a?sync/plate solve+sync and check the Hour angle and Time to Limit correspond to each other. (ie, at HA=0 when crossing the meridian, the time to limit is 16m00s in your case (4 minutes per degree)). If not right, then you might need to ensure your CWD is correct (ours drifts off over time for an unknown reason)

Successfully imaged with the new mount In October then nothing till this past week.? During an imaging session, the mount failed to flip with the capture software indicating mount still reporting west pointing east ( meridian flip parameters in software -ccdciel - were not changed ). I manipulated all the limits in an attempt to resolve with no luck - mount continues to track to limit then stops. All from cold starts.
I also tried without capture software and just the planetarium program - trying to use the gemini sofware to do the flips at various points from the meridian to the limit - same results.
I am at a loss here.? Any suggestions ?
