  1. If you hook up your mount and dslr to e.g. NINA, you can simply select an object from the sky atlas in the framing assistant and it will slew your setup to exactly that location. No guide scope needed. I normally take 60-90s subs without any issues and can probably reach 120s with great polar alignment (which can also be done via NINA.).
  2. Looking forward to seeing what you managed to capture.
  3. 3min exposures on this target could easily overexpose the image. Just for reference, the M 31 image in the following thread was captured with 60s subs.
  4. Don't think that is needed as he is intending to use NINA.
  5. Nice. And good to see you got some clear skies in the UK Hope that'll soon transfer to Denmark. It's been a while... 🙂
  6. If you reached the attached screen, turned the power off and on and nothing happens, it sounds like you might have bricked your mount 😞 There are various threads that indicate an unsuccesful update can be corrected by using either an eqdir usb cable or the SW wifi dongle. That however would require that the mount at least turns on. https://www.cloudynights.com/topic/833272-az-gti-mount-stuck-flashing-3-lights-no-wifi-or-wired-connection-works/
  7. These are the steps that should resolve any goto issues unless you have a hardware issue or mounted the scope incorrectly: 1. Turn on the mount, open the Synscan app, connect to the mount 2. Under "Alignment" choose "Reset Alignment" to clear the sky model. 3. Disconnect and exit the app. Remove the Synscan APP from device memory 4. Turn off the mount 5. Ensure the mount is level, the scope is in horizontal position and pointing North 6. Turn off the mount. Re-open Synscan and re-Connect the APP to the mount. 7. Perform a 3-Star alignment - as this is the most accurate form of alignment. Hope this helps. I've struggled myself to get things to work so I can relate to any frustrations 🙂
