Another clear moonless night here with nothing to show for it. I tried the SS HC set up that worked with Stellarmate 1.7.2 (during DST) but even after ensuring that DST is turned off, the pointing issue persists with 1.7.3. After quick align, Kstars and the mount agree on the position, but after a move, the scope appears to start to move in the right direction, but then abruptly wanders off. Is there something that was changed in 1.7.3 other than the introduction of a new way of inputting optical trains? What is it that I am missing? Is there something with slew limits perhaps?
