Re: Meridian Flips and NINA
Yes, that's right. Yes now using the hand controller. So the mount does this if tracking, but you can also slew Ra to the boundary transition point with the? hand controller. Driver display shows the

Re: Meridian Flips and NINA
Paul, With the scope at the eastern limit of 90 degrees, the Az value reads 346 degrees. Slewing past the boundary value of 353 degrees? the value suddenly jumps to something in the 200s. Peter

Re: Meridian Flips and NINA
So when crossing over 353 deg in Az, RA jumps by 7 hours? Is? that while tracking or when doing a goto? Did you confirm if that happens on the physical hand controller as well as in the driver

Re: Meridian Flips and NINA
The jump occurs when you cross over the 353 degree boundary in Az.

Re: Meridian Flips and NINA
I'm not thinking about the flip failing, but the RA coordinate jumping from 2h to 15h after a small move. Flips are performed by Gemini. ASCOM Driver just sends the command to perform one.

Re: Meridian Flips and NINA
I realize the Ra is changing with the the earths rotation. I noticed a jump in the Az value also at thi stransition point? ?(Dec 15h: Az 353 degrees) to (Dec 2h Az 227 degrees) Az summing to 680

Re: New G11G with subpar guiding
Vishel, It would help if you could post a few pictures of your mount (Dec and Ra worm drives. I ran an FFT on the raw data and you do have some nasty issues. There is a lot in this form on the 76s

A few points I'd like to add: I think everybody should check the relative position of the worm with respect to the center of the ring gear as the starting point when looking at Dec backlash. This is
