Troubles with Moonlite Rotator

$

If the focuser is reporting correctly and moving correctly then it looks as if it is connected correctly and that means that the rotator is also physically connected correctly.

Maybe the rotator port has been set up as a focuser, I'm not sure how that could happen but it would account for the very large negative number for the position.

Try going through the Rotator setup with neither focuser or rotator connected. Make sure that port 2 is set as a rotator of the correct size. Check the set position checkbox with the position set to 0.
Then connect the rotator and use the Control Panel - Other tab to check this. Zero degrees should correspond to a step value of 32767. You should be able to try this without having to wait for a clear, dark, sky.

There's nothing embarrassing or foolish about having a problem and asking for help. What's foolish is having a problem and pretending it's OK or hoping for the best.

My other hobby is flying and in that being in denial over a problem can be lethal.
