Hi Wolfgang,

I built and installed StarGo 1.10 and verified by inspecting the file manager date/time that it was built.

I've tested this indoors and the RA Tracking Adjust value does not appear to be saved by the mount over a shut down & start up sequence. This appears to be consistent with the reply that I received from Stefano at Avalon in response to my question on this same topic on the Avalon Instruments forum prior to my posting this request.

Here's my testing procedure:
1. Start Kstars/Ekos and automatically connect to mount.
2. Set Tracking to -1.08 on INDI CP/Avalon StarGo/RA/Dec tab
3. Save Configuration on Options tab.
4. Load Device Configuration/Never on Kstars/Configure/Ekos/General tab
5. Disconnect equipment on Ekos and Stop Ekos
6. Exit Kstars/Ekos
7. Start Kstars/Ekos and automatically connect to mount.
8. Reported value of Tracking is 0.00 on INDI CP/Avalon StarGo/RA/Dec tab

If I Set Tracking to -1.08, Save Configuration and change to Load Device Configuration/On Connection on Kstars/Configure/Ekos/General tab and then shut down and restart the reported value of Tracking is -1.08.

Perhaps I am missing something? I'm certainly no expert at this.
One thing I have not found is a way to Load Device Configuration at any time other than On Connection.

Hope this has been helpful.

Regards,
David
