I am using an Eqstars EQMOD mount (astro-gadget.net/gadgets/control-of-telescopes/eqstar) under Stellarmate. In GoTo mode it dramatically overshoots the target but between 20 and 30 degrees!   I have run the EQstar in "Synscan" mode using a mobile phone with the Synscan app and it works ok, getting close to the target each time. However whenever used in stellarmate it overshoots. The longer the slew the more pronounced the "miss". The only way to slew to a target is to slew in small steps from star to star, plate solving each time.  If you try and slew in one long go it misses by so much the plate solving fails.

Is there something I am not doing correctly? Are there parameters to "tune" the slew rate in INDI so that it doesnt overshoot by so much? Is there some sort of "training" that can be done (like a 3 star align on a synscan terminal) that will tune INDI?
