21Hk60qO I strongly agree, the planning mode tool should include an option to specify whether the S50 will operate in Alt/Az or EQ mode. The Alt/Az image frame is useless anyway, because it reflects the orientation at planning time, not at run time. Aligning the image frame to the EQ coordinates would make much more sense. The solution to this problem is actually quite easy, since now you can display either Alt/Az or RA/Dec grids (great feature, by the way), the planning software can assume that the grid you are using will also be the mode the capture will be made, Alt/Az respectively RA/Dec. In Alt/Az mode the rotation of the frame should match the date and time when the capture will be made, not when the plan is created. In RA/Dec EQ mode, just align the frame with the grid, this way, what you see is what you get in both modes. This would greatly increase the usability of the planning mode.
Another thing, against my better judgement I decided to give another try to framing mode, this time in EQ mode. Not only I wasted another hour or so of clear skies, but in EQ mode the grey rectangle that indicates the frame in SkyAtlas is rotated relative to the actual captured frame. In Alt/Az mode they were aligned, so this is a new bug introduced by the EQ mode. I am just mentioning this for those interested in framing mode, I am still unable to complete even a single image in framing mode and my interest for this function is still zero. If I were ZWO I would focus any improvements on planning and EQ modes.
