Turns out, I did not set the grub screws right. There is nothing wrong with the firmware.

Yes, the backlash is handled by the ZWO EAF firmware AFAIK

I just upgraded the firmware on my ZWO EAF to 3.3.8 and I notice there is a lot more backlash now. Before a value of 45 was sufficient.
Unfortunately the firmware only allows to set a value of maximum 255 which does not seem to be sufficient.
I have sent email on this to ZWO...
I hope in the meanwhile overscan can be a workaround.

I have this all the time as well - did you ever figure out the cause ?

I have upgraded to the latest version of kstars and I wanted to use the new AF algorithms.
Everything was looking good until the last moment where it wanted to focus inwards by 24964 steps... Maybe this is a bug ?

See attached screenshot

I replaced my iOptron SGP with a Skywatcher EQ5-R and now it works like a charm.

Last night after a successful meridian flip, autoguiding was not resumed automatically. I think it should, right ?
On Kstars 3.6.0.

Logs attached here.

Any ideas ?

Thanks.

Any updates on this ? My platesolving also suddenly started failing.. At least on my primary scope.. on my guide scope it still works for some reason.
Strangely it just fails in the middle of my session. It _was_ working... totally clueless why it suddenly stopped working.

Hi,

Is there any idea when astroberry repo will contain kstars 3.6.0 ?
The repo from the upstream maintainers does not support astroberry :(

Thanks

Paul
