Trying out the Ekos internal guider on Paramount MyT with ASI290 and a FL=100 mm f/3 guide scope.

I've set the pulse to 5000 and waited 15 minutes or so while the guide star drifts just a few pixels (maybe 20 arc seconds). I suspect this is just polar misalignment, not responses to actual guide pulses. As I recall the ASCOM driver for Paramounts has a "Use Direct Guide" checkbox, and perhaps such a translation is required for INDI as well?

It's not trying to calibrate on a hot pixel. I have nice clear stars, and I'm using SEP Multistar, so the guider is measuring the guide star and the positions of a bunch of other stars as well.

The INDI mount driver is connected fine to TheSkyX and slews and tracks very well.

I've attached a log file showing the failed calibration along with screenshots of the settings and the resulting calibration plot.

Would love any advice you can offer!

Scott
