Are you building a model first???
Short answer no, long answer is I don't think I ever did build one. I had always thought the mount having accurate location + time + plate solving was all I needed. And for 3 years that has been the case. I kind of remember looking at this when I first got the mount, but can't remember how far I went with it. To be? honest I always thought modeling was more for visual use. Like I said, I had this issue when I first got the mount, maybe then was when I looked at doing model. Eventually Brian V sent me a firmware revision that when updated it resolved this first time out, and I never had this problem again until now.?
My problem seems like, in my amateur view, the mount's coordinates are not correct even though settings show everything correct. NINA shows my target as RA 09 & DEC 69, Cartes du Ciel shows M81 at same coordinates. I slew to M81, Cartes shows I am at M81. Plate solving however shows me at DEC 49, it then slews to correct this but is almost pointing the telescope back to Polaris (yet it says on this 2nd attempt to plate solve that I am at 09:25:10 RA!).?
I should also add, I did have a few nights using the side by side plate BEFORE doing the L6 update. I did get a guide on the steps to balance using dual telescopes. I had zero problem using the side by side.?
