Check to make sure you have verbose logging turned on (with the LOG button) and to a file. At the bottom of that dialog window (which may need to be scrolled) there is an Open Logs Directory button. That should get you to the right spot.

I did set "last alignment" on the HC before starting Ekos and had some difficulty getting the driver selected properly, but the "CGX Wired" driver option make it much easier than previous attempts.
The driver seems to be working (in daylight), so if there are outstanding issues, I haven't yet encountered them

Hopefully, my log is attached. (I did slew around a bit after connecting).

That's interesting. I just tried the phoronix Cloverleaf benchmark. My new MeLe Quieter 3C Intel Celeron 4 core N5105 @ 2.9 GHz (Jasper Lake) gives results of 508-521 vs 502 for the Orange Pi 5 (lower is better).

Interesting.
Do you have a Geekbench 6 benchmark for it?

Thanks for the comment about PECPrep. I'll try that out (through Parallels). On the advice of a more experienced astrophotographer, I had subtracted the linear fit data from my average curve data to de-trend the data before upload. Seeing conditions were poor enough last night, the results were inconclusive.

Where did you find the note about spurious frequencies?

I also am running on Ubuntu mate, after seeing that the driver knew what index it was on, I just recorded them regardless of the current index.

OK, from last night, here are 5 PEC recordings from my CGX.

My guiding was consistently above 1", which is unfortunately not unusual for me. There were wind gusts up to 10 km/hr during the shooting.


Not sure what this says, but I believe it.

You post is prompting me to try recording PEC for the 1st time. I normally run PPEC in Phd2, but I was thinking that I'd go back to the Hysteresis algorithm while recording the PEC on the assumption that I might be recording a corrected PEC as the PE.

Hi,

I don't have an HEQ5 Pro mount, I use a Celestron CGX via USB, so I'm guessing about what issues you might have. Screen shots always help to explain where you are having problems.

If you are talking about slewing your scope to a particular object in the sky using the main kstars window, then you right click on a celestial object and choose the the menu item corresponding to your scope.If you were using the Simulators, it would be called "Telescope Simulator". In my case the menu item is "Celestron CGX". If you scope is properly identified in your profile (if you can see it in the INDI Control panel, that's likely true), then there should be a sub menu item "Goto". That should slew your scope to the object you've chosen.

Am I out-to-lunch here ?

Cheers

I have 22.04 and with my default Simulator (Telescope, CCD, Focus) couldn't reproduce the problem. I'd suggest starting a new profile and adding simulators one at a time, restarting with each new addition, until it breaks. That might help determine where a new client manager is added (which looks different than my logs).
