The focus function works well and the main camera can be focussed easily. Mount is connected once polar alligned also very easily. Polar allign and goto first target M51.
When trying to use guidance, a star is selected then the mount is operated with large movements which then makes tracking keep reading 'lost star'. Ths throws out the mount allignment.
When trying to plate solve 600 stars are found regardless of gain and varying the focal length, it is never solved. Also had errors reading 'too far from the equator'
When imaging regardless of exposure time and gain dead pixels and white noise. Is the 120MCS capable of deep space imaging at all?
When using the Nikon D3400 the app crashes and closes when imaging.
