Hi Edward, this is just what I've been looking for, I've been having a really hard time trying to config my G11 to do automated flips with NINA. I have 2 questions though, do you know if this works well with Gemini 1 as well? And also, I'm in the southern hemisphere, are there any considerations I should take into account? I read in the manual that eastern and western limits should be swapped when using the mount in the southern hemisphere, and actually due to the RA motor positioning my western limit is the "shorter" one before the setup will crash into the pier. Gemini also seems to report reversed sides of pier always, at least that's what I see in NINA: NINA will say the telescope is WEST of the pier but my telescope will be on the east. This I believe is because of me being in the southern hemisphere, because if I were to turn my mount 180 degrees in azimuth to face north, the reported side of pier would actually be correct. One would think that it would be an easy thing for Gemini to report the inverted side when your latitude is set south of the equator but this does not seem to be the case, so I wonder if there's anything I should take into account due to this. My issue with flips is that NINA will actually initiate the flip command with the legacy sequencer, but it will get stuck in an endless loop of requesting flips, once the flip is complete. Gemini will not perform another flip, but NINA will keep requesting them.
