I just got the Rainbow Astro RST-135, and I am trying to get it to work with Ekos on a Mac. It connects and controls fine, but I am having trouble getting it to point properly. It seems to be a location/Time issue. How should I set the Time&Location Updates in the Indi Configure preferences? KStars updates all devices,Mount Updates KStars,GPS Updates KStar? I can boot up the mount, and park it with the hand controller. It also has build in GPS, and sets the mount facing exactly straight west to the horizon. But Ekos updates the Dec/RA to something way off in the eastern sky and when I try to slew to know objects that are visible (Like Orion Nebula), it thinks they are below the horizon. I am apologize if this is something basic, but I am just beginning with Astrophotography and this is my first mount. Any help on how to troubleshoot would be greatly appreciated!
