Asiair with aa Celestron AVX problem polar aligning.

Rick1952

Hi
I wonder if you can help me, I have an Asiair connected to a Celestron AVX mount. When I start to polar align the Asiair take the first image and plate solves, I press next the mount starts to rotate the 60degs then partway through this motion it slows down and then speeds up. When it gets to the 60deg position the Asiair tells me the mount has stopped rotating, do I want to cancel? It's not letting me complete the polar aligning. Please can you help?

Best regards

Hey Rick, did you solve this problem? I am having it exactly. I did upgrade all my firmware.

Thanks!

Check if you have the latest Celestron firmware in the HC
in the past there were problems with AVX polar alignment and they say they solved it
I continue to make the polar alignment with may AXV without connecting the AAP to the mount
when I do it, AAP asks if I want to move it manually and it is what I do. Essentially I take the first picture and I manually rotate of around 50°-70° degrees, I confirm in aap and then the routine continues

Here we are more than two years later and I am having the same issue. I am running 2.1.0.
