Hi Again,
Just an update. I see many members have viewed my post, but no one has replied ! I have attached my “Typical” Guide Log during the Calibration Process and a JPG of the Calibration Attempt. This problem seems to be very similar to what was reported a year ago when version 3.5 of the INDI_Celestron_gps driver came out. Back then, several Members reported having problems with their Tracking Calibration on Celestron Mounts (mine is a CGEM DX).

Reference:

(SOLVED) Guide calibration fails. Cannot guide

Here “Steve Crossman” had problems with the 3.4 version of the driver. Same version I am using.

I'm unable to complete guider calibration because the second stage of the calibration process (RA_DEC_DIR) generates pulses in the same direction as RA_INC_DIR, and the guide star drifts away faster and faster as the pulse-length is increased.

This issue of the Calibration Pulses not reversing direction seem to be exactly what I am getting. See the attached JPG.

It would be great if someone could suggest something. I am using a bare knuckles Raspberry Pi 4, so I am not sure there is a rcent update for Raspbian available. Any Help. Thank you.
