Issues with Seestar S30 since second-to-last firmware update

WhatTheFungus

Dear ZWO Team,

since the second-to-last firmware update I am experiencing two issues with my Seestar S30:

The Moon and the Sun can no longer be slewed to automatically. I have to set them manually, while other objects (e.g. Andromeda Galaxy) are found without any problems.

Before each attempt to slew to the Moon or the Sun, the system requires me to recalibrate the compass. This was not necessary before the update. The compass calibration is only requested when trying to slew to the Moon or the Sun – for all other objects it is not required.

Could you please check if this is a known issue or if there is a solution available?

Thank you very much in advance.

Best regards,

Yes, the Seestar requires compass calibration before using it to locate the sun or moon. However, as long as the time and location are accurate, the S30 should generally not have any issues finding the sun or moon.
What does the screen display look like when you locate the sun or moon?
