Does ASIair Pro auto rotate mount 60 deg during PA

stubblejumper

I have an iOptron CEM25P, ASI1600mm Pro, EAF, ASI290 mini. When I start PA, it plate solves and then says to rotate the mount 60 deg. If I use the hand controller, ASIair reports it hasn't moved. That suggests ASIair should do it. The only mount control I've seen is on another page. Is this a connection problem? I've checked the cabling.

I do not have an ioptron.. but the Asiair pro does the 60deg rotation automatically.. could be a connection issues.. try switching the asiair before turning on the power to the mount or vice versa.. happens a lot with my dslr.

ASI Air Pro does work properly with my CEM25P for GoTo's to DSOs. Had a clear night last night and it slewed my mount, plate solved and adjusted. Best thing that's ever happened for GoTo's!

I am also having problems with Guiding and Focus. In both cases I am not seeing screens showing needed information. E.G., graphs showing FWHM-like information. It is possible that I'm not doing something correctly. One thought is that ASI Air Pro is auto focusing because I have an EAF and doesn't display the windows because they are not needed.

Clear nights are at such a premium that I don't want to spend much time problem solving. I used my trust-worthy PoleMaster camera and a laptop to polar align last night. I used 45 sec and 60 sec subs to limit tracking errors./

I have the same problem with my AVX mount, but I found if I use the ASIAir to "GoTo HOME" position, the mount will later auto-rotate the 60 deg during the Polar Align routine. However, the "Home" position the ASIAir goes to is not the same "Home" position the AVX goes to (e.g. weight down) but when I use the AVX Hand controller to go "Home" the polar align routine won't rotate. I know I shouldn't have to go through that, but it works.
