Hi I'm not sure if it will help but i wanted to share my observations from last night which might help fix the issue for you too. First my setup:? G811G with Gemini-2 - East Limit (ESL): 99.0 - West Limit (WSL): 99.0 - Goto Limit (WGL): 11.00 - Nudge mount... NINA HF3 - Minutes after meridian: 2 - Use side of pier - pause before meridian: 0 While testing during the day everything worked fine. I was doing 30 secs exposures to test, and NINA performed the flip just fine. The problem happened at night when my exposures were set to 10 minutes. When NINA finished the last exposure before flip, there were still SIX MINUTES left before Gemini WGL. Since the next exposure would finish after the NINA limit after meridian (6 min plus 2 min), NINA decided to wait for the time to flip, but this is important: NINA TOLD GEMINI TO PAUSE THE TRACKING. So now NINA is waiting for the time to flip, but Gemini is not tracking?anymore so its WGL will?never be reached. When the time to flip was reached, NINA couldn't do it as Gemini didn't allow?it. ?My solution was to increase NINA limit after the meridian to be bigger than my exposures, This way, the last exposure will always finish *after* Gemini WGL was reached already.? I did have another problem which is related to my other email about random GOTOs happening. After the flip above, while NINA was recentering the object, the mount went crazy again and moved the DEC axis almost 90 degrees from where the object was (I was imaging at Zenith and it moved the DEC almost parallel to ground pointing North), But this is unrelated to the Flip it seems Does it make sense? Hope this helps. Guilherme On Sun, Jun 27, 2021 at 9:34 AM Jim Waters <jimwaters@...> wrote: Edward - have you used the new Smart meridian Flip yet?? How do you like it? |
