Hi!
It took a few more days than planned, due to windy weather, but tonight I thoroughly tested the setup again.
Here are some screenshots of the settings as seen on the HC:
It seems that I failed to take a picture of the longitude setting - it is E13 32 (not sure about the minutes right now though).
Same behavior as before. I could Go To Bright star Albireo, then Vega, Deneb, and synch with these (Additional alignment - Synchronize). Then going to Mizar (NorthWest of me) renders an Interrupted, GoToBright Star Polaris gives Interrupted. Interestingly enough Dubhe worked OK.
Then on the East side: Alpheratz was OK, but Mirfak gives Interrupted. M 31 worked, but M33 gets Interrupted. Aldebaran gives Interrupted but Castor works OK.
So it does not seem like a nothern sector that is Interrupted, at least not consistently.
Then I experienced that M33 got an interrupted, when closing in on the meridian. However, a few minuted later, it worked, being close to the meridian but not yet there.
Anything wrong with my settings? I guess the UTC + 2 is actually wrong, since we switched from summer time this weekend. But CET is corrrect.
I found out that with mount on east side pointing west, but very close to the safety limit, there is no meridian flip option on the HC. Should there not be one, even though it is east poiting west? Trying to go even further east from there renders an interrupt, not a meridian flip either.
Any idea? What should I try tomorrow?
