INDI Guider with Celestron AVX mount

I am setting up my observatory, hoping to get a remote setup going.

I am struggling to get the INDI Guide Module working with the Celestron AVX mount. Callibration is not working in DEC. Barely moves fwd in DEC, and never returns back and fails. RA seems to work OK.

I have tried sending the guiding via ST-4 and the mount. On PC PHD2 I have normally used ST-4, on INDI only the mount seems to work. I have had PHD2 on the PC working.

Has anyone else got this working. I have included a number of screen shots of my configuration, I include some of Guide Pules being sent via the INDI Mount 'Guide Tab.

Suggestions welcome!

Key Setup:
- Celestron AVX Mount
- Celestron 8in edge HD (2010mm fl / 201mm app) with 0.7x reducer.
- Orion Guide Scope (162mm fl / 50mm app)
- Lodestar X2 guide cam

Thanks, can you please attach the log? You need to have "Guide" module checked in logs.

Hi.

I use Celestron AVX with Orion SSAG. Not sure if it is camera or mount that is the biggest issue.

I guide with QHY CCD Via Celestron GPS with Use pulse CMD = OFF.

I have to disable two axis calibration. When guiding starts it does guide in two axies, but uses a minute or two to settle down.

Hope this is helpfull :)

Thanks Jasem. Will see if I can get some logs later in the week when I am back at the observatory. Weather permitting ...

Thank you (and the rest of the contributors) for all your heard work here and on the platform!

Thanks Magnus. I had not thought of that. Will give that combo a go when I am back at t he observatory. Assume it calibrates in RA and then just assumes the DEC axis operates with the same parameters.
