The AVX is not on polaris when Ekos Starts. was created by MORELLI

Hi,

My mount Celestron AVX is not on the polaris star into Kstars after starting Ekos. I don't knox why and I don"t know how to correct this issue. My system is Ubuntu 18.04.4LTS, and I use a Tinker Board for remote control with a RJ45 E5 cable. The TB is used as an Indi server only. Kstars is running on my laptop.

Curiously, the mount into Kstars is just at a vernal point position.

An answer will be appreciate before the night in France (in 3 ours). Thank you.

I may have misunderstood but it is up to you to set your AVX to the start position and do some sort of align - a quick align will do.

EKOS has no way to know where the mount is pointing or how to move it to the start position.

It is possible to use the Celestron Hibernate/wake up process but that requires starting with some sort of alignment.
