Auto centering failed

Brodie

Hi,
I have recently started to encounter the problem of my mount going haywire everytime I use the plan mode to platesolve/auto centre. I had a night where I had two targets on my plan. Initially when I started the plan, it was going fine (though sometimes I have to reset the auto centering because it takes way to long to platesolve, then it works fast), but when it got to the meridian flip I noticed that it was taking a lot of test shots for the plate solving and the mount or software was just lost. It took me some time trying different ways to use the platesolving, but I eventually got it going again. Though on the next target the auto centering failed again, leaving me with no shots after the first target. Note that this is ny first time encountering this issue with the platesolving and as far as I'm aware, i didnt do anything to it or anything different. I have attached the logs for this night.
Thanks, Brodie.

Brodie Hello. Is there any cloud on that day? Maybe the failure was caused by the clouds.

Brodie

No not that I'm aware of (it was looking clear the whole night and at meridian it was completely clear), either way it was having the same trouble when platesolving on the meridian flip for the first target.

Brodie Hi, could you please send us the error logs? The premise is that your ASIAIR box is not turned off.

Hi,
I have had more problems with the meridian flip and auto centering. Not sure why the camera was always disconnecting, that may have been a contributing factor. By the looks of the mount in the morning it was completely off from the home position. I have attached images for some more clarity.
