Parking problems
« on: June 28, 2017, 09:15:42 »

Wonder if any one can assist me with this frustrating problem.

I have set up EQMod to park and unpack my scope in the home position.

The scope unparks ok and I can slew the scope any which way when I use the slew buttons in EQMod.

When I tell the scope to mount to park EQMod show and states it is parked. The mount however does not move to the home park position.

The goto feature appears to work, at least the scope moves in the correct direction.

Due to poor conditions I have not been able to polar align the mount as I cannot see Polaris through the polar scope. Polaris is how ever in the centre of the scopes eye piece.

Any one any words of wisdom. This and the weather are the only things holding me back now.

Thanks

Hi Peter,

maybe this video:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvOFj63rvLo     will clarify you some settings of the EQMOD about parking.

regards and good luck

Thanks for your response. I have followed that video and EQMod shows the mount has responded. But the mount only moves a minute amount.
