Hi Ken,
Today we wanted to use same settings as yesterday, because they did work.
But today, we got an error telling us that we can not use -5min in SGP because the mount dies not support that. SGP told us using 0min.Yesterday we could use -5 min pier flip worked good. We did not change anything.
Do you have an idea what happened?
Thanks,
Anna
Yes, SGPro does not support early meridian flips for mounts that do not support the ASCOM defined ability to set the side of the pier the mount should be on. In your case, your mount only supports flips via "slew" when you are pointing at or past the meridian. If you were able to set it to -5 before, it is likely because you did not have a telescope object selected or connected. In this case SGPro was not able to determine the type of mount you had (its properties) and let you enter whatever you want.
Is there a reason you want to flip 5 minutes before the meridian? Is 0 not sufficient?
