Hi,

I'm a recent convert to the astrophotography world and would like some advice on the above subject.

My setup is a Celestron EdgeHD 8, HEQ5 Pro EQMOD connected mount, ZWO ASI533MC Pro camera, ZWO EAF Focuser, Raspberry PI 4GB with stellarmate OS and ethernet cable connected Ubuntu laptop.

I am able to a 3 image plate solve but when it comes to the adjustment phase I see forever increasing altitude errors. Therefore I cant get the error under a reasonable value. I dont believe this should be happening and was wondering if my mount is at fault. When I look at the indi control panel - EQMOD Mount tab I see that the backward/forward indicator under the RA motor status is green when the mount is not moving. Refer pics.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
