Hello everyone! If somebody can help me with the issue. My setup: Windows, Kstars/Ekos on Win, Rasp Pi3, QHY 5M as a guiding cam.
Trying to Start guiding, and always have the same message:

GUIDE_RA: Scope cannot reach the start point after 30 iterations. Possible mount or drive problems...
RA drifting reverse...
RA drifting forward...
Calibration started.
Auto star selected.

Trying both via mount (as i think form ekos) and via camera itself. sometimes i see that the star is moving. If im trying to do guiding on Win+PHD2 everything goes well.

When you run the calibration, is your mount tracking? Check that the RA stays constant to make sure it's tracking. Try to increase pulse time under Options. I presume you have ST4 cable from QHY to your mount?

Hello Jasem!
1) mount is tracking. Should it be tracking while calibration or not?
2) i tried both QHY+QHY (via ST4 as i think) and QHY + mount (via mount driver as i think) variants
3) @Check that the RA stays constant@ - does it mean that RA should not change while calibration

PS sorry for noobie questions. And thx for Ekos

Ok, two suggestions:

1. Install TeamViewer so I can login and check the issue directly. OR
2. Turn on Guide & INDI logging under KStars Options --> Advanced and also QHY Debug logging under INDI Control Panel --> QHY --> Options.
