Hello,

I can't make test the last two weeks, first I have to make captures (with V3.5.9) and then the second week was horrible, cloudy and rainy. I came back home, the wethear is bad also. I update to V3.6.1. I try to make a test as soon as possible.

Hi all,
using Kstars 3.6.1 and 1.9.8 libindi i have a similar problem.

i tryed to setup correctly the optical train. (guiding in parralel with Moravian G0-0300 )...
But calibration stucks on RA drifting step...as mount is not moving...

i didn't found any idea to solve it, or any configuration to change...

Regards,

Hello Arnaud,
Is it on a iOptron mount ?
If yes symptoms are the same for me.
Have you tried to use PHD2 to see if it is a mount/mount driver/Indi/Ekos problem.
If calibration works with PHD2 Indi and mount/mount driver are out of the question.
But I didn't check yet last updates.

Hi Patrick,
no i have a classical NEQ6 mount.
Guide module worked correctly before updates 3.6.1 and 1.9.8
Quite many things changed in this last update so, i was wondering if some other set up was necessary...hidden somewhere else in kstars...

I replied on your post thinking the problem you have too is not directly related to the mount but more to the Guide Module
I didn't tried yet PHD2, but indeed need to install it, could help to analyse the problem.

Arnaud.

I just read this : indilib.org/forum/ekos/12408-optical-train-setup-with-oag.html

It was probébly an optical train setup problem, I will try this evening.
Thx Jasem...
Not sure it solve your problem Morelli, Patrick...sorry to have spoiled your post.

I am OK to investigate about the mount, one year old, and PHD2. But remenber that in the same conditions, I have no issue with 3.5.9.

I made a new card with the last version of Kstars/Ekos/INDI. Copied all config files.
I tested it 2 days ago.
The problem of calibration is still the same: Unable to calibrate under EKOS because of no motion on RA but PHD2 has no problem to calibrate.
Weird because all worked fine 2 or 3 versions back.

I have the same Problem with newes 3.6.1 stable.I know that everything was fine a few weeks ago.
I guide with OAG and CEM40.
Attached are pictures of my optical train configuration and logfile.
I can rule out an error with the mount.

The log actually shows everything going correctly as far as optical train goes. I see it calibration RA+ and then when it switches to RA-, the star doesn't move back but drifts further away. The commands are correct though, so there must be something else that is causing this. Maybe there is a star detection issue but I doubt it.

That's very strange.
The last time I used my setup was on October 4th. Then everything worked, but with a different optical train without OAG.
I work with the stable PPA. The bug must be somewhere in the updates since that date. Is there something I can test? Best during daylight?

Due to a bad weather since the end of September, I still haven't been able to do any more tests. Wait and see !

You need to enable pulses to the mount. They are currently off...
