Hi John,

I had an idea from what you mentioned and tried it but no luck. Instead of flipping if HA > 5 degrees, I thought that I could try flipping the mount if HA > -1 degree, i.e 1 degree before it gets to the Meridian but the wise person who wrote the EKOS Meridian flip trigger did not allow small negative numbers to be used.

My logic behind that was that if one an wait 5 degrees past the Meridian to flip, it should be possible to do a preemptive flip a few degrees before getting to the Meridian with similar results. I could try modifying EKOS to do that but I don't know the code enough to play with it with confidence. I'll look anyway, just in case.

Anyway, I still have to try flipping with the 0 degree condition and see if it works. I will let you know.

Thanks again,

Gilles
