More problems with pier flip and 10 micron mount

"Time to Meridian" being shown may indicate that:

  • Mount is stating that the telescope is on the East side of the Pier.
  • Sidereal Time/Lat/Log are incorrect from mount

If you slew the scope to the west side of the pier, near the meridian; SGP should display "time to flip" if things are working correctly. Also this assumes that the "Use Auto Meridian Flip" checkbox if checked.

You can also double check the location of the mount by using a planetarium application to see if it at least says it's pointing where it looks like it's pointing. Also check your hemisphere as well...pretty much check all location and time settings on the mount as this is what SGP uses to determine if the mount can flip.

Thanks,
Jared
