I have the safety limits set for my G11T.? I woke up this morning to find the mount on the east side of the pier after a meridian flip way past my safety limit and against the pier.? This was the first night I have let NINA run a sequence with this mount. I have NINA set to meridian flip 5 min past the meridian. This is within my safety limits. I don't know why the mount would flip, go past the safety limit and crash the scope on the east side of the pier. Any idea what may have happened?
A few things are important to making sure safety limits are properly observed:?
1. Make sure the safety limits are set where you think they are
2. Make sure you have the correct mount type selected in Gemini HC
3. Make sure you Cold Start or Warm Start in as close to CWD position as you can. Starting using these two modes in any other position will result in safety limits being offset by as much as your initial position is away from CWD.
4. Make sure you do at least one Sync or Additional align when you start the mount. This is not for building a model, but for sync'ing mount physical position and current time/sky location.
