I'm not quite sure I grasp what the "Pier Side Method" is? It's clear from the ASCOM log that :Mf# is being sent to the mount - the mount does the rest if a flip is possible. From the handset it

Paul, Meridian flip does not work from the HC.

Cold start CWD. When I first used the mount, I was able to meridian flip.? The capture software back then used the 3 slew method. Recently, the newer version uses the pier side method - and it always

Hi Frank, so are you ever able to perform a meridian flip? If yes, how and when? As to the original subject line, was this something that was working and then just stopped? I don't see anything in

Frank, I may have missed one of your responses, but do you have the meridian flip working from the hand controller? Paul

Thanks for the suggestion Paul.? I tried it out today but no luck.

Can’t say if that’s a hardware or software/settings issue, although it’s hard to imagine that hardware is causing this if everything is working except for flips. Did you try resetting Gemini

So, given the above: - mount does not flip even though it should - manipulating limits does not help - happens via usb or ethernet - happens even when not running an imaging application - happen after

That's correct. There is a meridian flip command in the log, :Mf# issued, it appears to happen at HA of 0.026183, or past the meridian. The mount reports being on West side of the pier. The software

Frank what software is this? wrote: -- Brian Brian Valente astro portfolio https://www.brianvalentephotography.com/astrophotography/ portfolio brianvalentephotography.com

A few posts below this one, I attached an ascom log for one of my troubleshooting runs.? I looked and the Mf# is in there.? Whether done at right time or not is beyond me.

Ah. I wonder if this page has anything explanatory. https://ascom-standards.org/Help/Platform/html/P_ASCOM_DeviceInterface_ITelescopeV3_SideOfPier.htm If the software is relying on SideOfPier to

A solution of sorts.? I reverted to a version of the capture software that doesn't rely on pier side to determine when to flip.? When the scope and target cross the median - even all the way to the

Here's some of the latest updates I've made to the indi driver. I'd say that the highlight is the addition of safety limits and flip point's. I've also updated the ekos/kstars indi control panel so

A friend with a "new to him" G8 with the same gemini unit and software helped with testing various limit settings and was able to generate a flip with his unit with? E & W limits at 92 and WGT at

Thanks Jonathan - great idea. Just tried it. Results the same, no flip - even after a 5 min. retry. Attached is the ascom log should it prove useful.

Could you try changing the settings in CCDciel? Use “can track past meridian” for 12 minutes and “no flip until past meridian” at 0. This should be comfortably within the gemini limits. I

Thanks for the tips. The key factors are in the screen shot attached. The way is interpret this is as follows: 1. the gemini limits permit meridian flip between 8 mins. before the meridian to 16 mins.

Hi Frank, the math is correct. As it stands your window of opportunity for a flip runs from 1 degree past meridian all the way to your safety limit of 4 degrees past meridian. That is 4 minutes to 16

Frank, I don't work for Losmandy, so you're better off contacting their support directly about any repair/replacement. Your? safety limits are very conservative, so there will be a very limited area
