EQMod tracking turning off on its own during Autorun sequence

maudette

Hi;

I really like ASIAIR. No Fuss application that lets me take my pictures. Love it.

I do have a couple of issues:

1- When I use EQMOD and during autorun, The tracking will suddenly turn off for no apparent reason. This happened 3 times over a period of 2 hours. It was close but going away from the Zenith, It's the only thing that I can see but it should not matter I think. I had performed a flip before.

2- Is it possible to have an Audible ALARM when the guide stop for whatever reason. (star lost, tracking stop, etc....). Same when the sequence has ended?

3- I use EQMod because I cannot get the synscan to plate solve properly. Even after a perfect polar align and 3 star alignments, Do you know why?

Thank you very much for taking the time to answer my questions.

Hell Michel,

So glad that you like the little box.

Q1 Did you use the latest version v1.1? And, how about the RA axis was it going to under horizon?

Q2 Yes, can be done like this, added to our development list, we will talk about it in the future. Thanks for you suggestion.

Q3 Try to update your SynScan HC FW, https://www.nexstarsite.com/ here you are. A lot of bugs fixed.

Have a nice day.

Hi!

Thanks for the quick reply. In response to:

1- yes! it was saying something to the effect of "...going to under horizon...". what does it mean and why did it say that. It wasn't, in fact it was nice and high (M101).

2- thank you for the audible alarm suggestion consideration.

3- I will update to the latest firmware and let you know.

Thank you

Michel
