Pegasus Falcon question

Dear all,

I am using Stellarmate for my astrophotography. Recently I have contacted Pegasus regarding the Falcon rotator for 2 topis (besides availability in Stellarmate/INDI):

1. Does it allow me to determine and change the angle of the attached camera for the desired FOV
2. Does it the allow me to enable field derotation using an ALT-AZ mount

The answer from Pegasus was as follows:

The rotator is supported in indi / Kstars and works flawlessly. However the derotation feature is not implemented in ind yet.
We do not have an update when it is going to be supported as the driver is 3rd party developed.

Can anyone say wether this will be implemented in near future?

Replied by Ralf Karpa on topic Pegasus Falcon question

Dear all,

I tried some stuff using the de-rotation capability of the info-driver but without any success. The driver states that the value entering is number of steps per ms, however it seems that it is more degrees per second. When I enter a fraction (i. E. 0.5) it does not move at all but 1 is already too fast.

Any hint?
