I just did another test with another optical train. The problem remains.
Calibration is not possible.
Then I installed PHD2 and the calibration also fails with PHD2.
I have now checked the mechanics of my mount. But I do not see any errors. There is no play and everything is fine with the belts.

I don't know what to do and it's a bit frustrating.
Everything was working 3 weeks ago with the exact same setup and the only thing I've done since is install the latest stable ppa.

Probably worth going back to basics:
1. Can Ekos move the mount in RA and DEC and does it move correctly (there is a mount control popup on the Mount tab)?
2. Have you tried calibrating in the best part of the sky (roughly the intersection of the Meridian and celestial equator)?

If yes to the above its worth posting another log and screenshots of your config

Thank you John

Goto and alignement with the slew to target function are working fine.
So Ekos can move the mount.
Unfortunately the weather wasn't good enough for further testing yesterday.
I'll see if I can do some dry tests soon.

I think I have solved the problem.
After a few unsuccessful attempts today, I created a new profile with the same equipment and the same optical train.
And suddenly everything works as it should.
I will try this with the other profile and train. But first I want to take a few pictures.

I reactivate this topic.
Since now many versions the calibration with my CEM60 doesn't works. The mount doens't move or move erratically.
PHD2 has no problem to calibrate. Seems that the problem is not in INDI but more certainly in Ekos.
I forgot to say that I use a RPi 4 / 4Gb.
If someone had or have the problem and found a way to fix that problem I would be pleased to know how.
