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

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.

Hello. Im trying to use my celestron nexstar+ mount CG5 with Kstars+Ekos. After connecting camera and mount, im making a test capture. And it always show star tracks as if the mount tracking doesnt work, even if the capture duration is 5-10 seconds.
Does anybody found the same issue? MB, any solution?
PS when im using Windows7 + celestron ASCOM driver+ cartes du ciel+ BackyardEOS everything goes fine and i can capture 100sec frames without any guiding.
I tjink that Kstars/ekos chnages the mount behavior. Is there any setting so i can set up correct sync-tion or make ekos slaved to the mount.
