Re: mount does not learn from platesolving

For that far off in both axes, I would make sure the following are all correct:
CWD position at warm start/cold start is correct. Mount Type is correct. Dec and RA cables aren't swapped.
In addition, ensure the first alignment is well away from the pole, and that date/time are both correct (watch out for time zone issues, etc)

Yes you should do this, which is the common?practice when using platesolving.?
If your initial goto is off by that many degrees, chances are one or more of your settings is off, or your computer/gemini information is way out of sync.?
That's roughly 1-3 hours difference between initial goto and target.?
Hi all,
I am running Gemini 2, and I did a rough polar alignment on my mount. It consistently off by 20-40 degrees in RA and similar in DEC. I have had the Gemini 2 setup to do:
1) Warm Restarts
2) "Sync Performs additional align" is turned on.
3) My site: Lat: N 39 24.92 Long: W 119 46.47 Time Zone: UTC-8 PST/YDT
My mount does not find the target after successful platesolves and syncs.
I think that tonight I'd like to set the Gemini 2 to:
1) Cold Restarts, and?
2) Turn OFF "Sync Performs additional align".
NINA is setup to sync with mount at platesolves.
If this is the solution, great, but I'd like to hear from you guys if there is other issues (like getting a precise polar alignment) that could be causing this.
Clear Skies,
Paul
