MickeF Next Meridian Flip in 11h59'XX''
Were you tracking a circumpolar star that is in the west side of the pier and moving towards the east? If so, there is a bug where the ASIAIR does not know that the mount needs a meridian flip when the star reaches the meridian line between the pole and Nadir.
ASIAIR only recognizes meridian crossings when a star crosses the meridian from east to west (i.e., star crosses the prime meridian that is in the hemisphere which includes the Zenith). It does not know about the second Meridian flip location (star crosses the Meridian on the hemisphere that includes the Nadir).
If, on the other hand, you are tracking a star that is on the "correct" hemisphere, then I would carefully check the local time, the UTC offset and the Longitude that is in ASIAIR's Mount Setup window. Those are what ASIAIR uses to determine when to issue the choreograph of sending a GOTO to the mount for it to perform an auto meridian flip. Make sure ASIAIR is not reporting the Longitude of N degrees West as being 360-N degrees East. I.e., a westward Longitude would reported by ASIAIR as an eastward Longitude that is larger than 180ยบ. This is a bug that has been in ASIAIR for more than a year now. It is really irritating that they waste time adding useless features, instead of fixing fundamental bugs that involves the very basic principles of celestial navigation.
