GOTO ko on ioptron ieq45

beuq

Hello,

I've recently plug my ASIAIR PRO on my astrophoto setup.

Everything works well : cameras, mount, focuser are detected (I love my ASIAIR !) but GOTO on my mount is inoperant.

The mount never move when I select a target or when Polar Alignment need to rotate by 60° (however star tracking is OK).

I've searched a fix on this forum but nothing work : disable daylight time saving, change RS232 cable, use sync button on mount panel, power on mount only after PA, do a platesolving before, set the mount on zero position, power mount with a dedicated cable...

One more thing : before ASIAIR I was use a stellarmate system and GOTO was OK and with GOTO mount hand controller too.

Here my setup :

- Ioptron IEQ45 #8406 with latest firmaware

- ASIAIR PRO

- ASI294MC

- Mini ASI290MM

- EAF focuser

Thanks for your help.

Hey Beuq, the v1.5 is coming soon, at that version you can upload your runtime logs to us, then we can find the issue and try to fix it.

Hello,

Thank you for your reply, I will wait for v1.5 to debug that.

Hello, I've shared runtime logs in ASIAIR app but without any answer.
To move on this issue, i've made new tests with different configurations :

1. Stellarmate OS 1.5.9 + Ioptron HC8406 indi drivers

GOTO : OK with status up to date (idle, tracking, slewing)
Tracking : OK
Pulse guiding : OK the guiding instructions to correct tracking are taking in account
Park mount : OK the mount returns to home position and stop tracking
==> so that means the mount and the connection cable are OK

2. ASIAIR PRO v1.6.2 + Ioptron IEQ45 #8406 drivers

GOTO : KO no slewing
Tracking : OK
Pulse guiding : ?? not tested
Park mount : OK the mount returns to home position and stop tracking

3. ASIAIR PRO v1.6.2 + Ioptron IEQ45 pro #8407 drivers

GOTO : OK but with no status up to date
Tracking : OK
Pulse guiding : KO the guiding instructions have no effect on the mount tracking
Park mount : KO

Please could you update indi drivers with the last release on asiair ?
Do you need extra logs files to identify the issue ?

Please help my AAP is useless if I can't make autoguiding or use goto functionnality.
Thanks !

beuq Dear Beuq, is your problem solved now? I have exactly the same setup and also want to buy a complete ZWO solution. But if it still doesn’t work, I can better look for a different solution.
Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Roland

Hi Roland, no my problem is not solved despite all investigations and many details shared.
No answer from Zwo, that’s a pity.
I will sell my mount or my ASIAIR.

Beuq
