One thing that I´m still to do is to update to firmware 3.12. Maybe this error gets sorted out. I´ll try before returning to vendor. The list of fixes in 3.12 firmware is big: • Use a new format to save alignment data. • Fixed problem where app caused third party app using compass/tilt to malfunction • Updated AZ tracking algorithm • On Android: can save diagnostic log in Settings > Diagnostics menu • Improved connection error reporting • Fixed a crash involving hibernate • Allow setting SynScan Wi-Fi's 2.4G channel • Sync encoder: made more accurate and allow performing on mount without aux encoder.

Developing the app is good idea and very welcome. But I think Goto performance should be at least acceptable. So far I could not get it to align and slew to targets within the FOV. It´s always out. Sometimes, by far. I am using a Camera on a L Bracket. Camera is connected to a Notebook using USB. I use Astrophotography tools to align through its doubled crosshairs and magnification of 10x. I´ll try the Pro version with firmware update in Eq mode and see if that helps.

Hello, I´ve tried a first light this last weekend with my recently purchased AZ-Gti. To get it short I was unsuccessfull. I couldn´t point to where I wanted it to be. I did not tried the North alignment. Just tried Two Bright stars method. I was using a Canon 7D Mark II seated on a L Bracket with my trusty Canon EF 300mm IS L lens. I did connected the camera to the notebook running Astrophotography Tools software. Every thing looked right and I did use planets Saturn and Jupiter, Saturn and Mars, and couple of tries with a planet and a star such as Saturn and Vega or Saturn and Arcturus. In APT I had double crosshairs on screen and zoom +10 to get a very precise centering on screen. On all occasions I got confirmation that alignement was successfull. And I´ve tried M8 and M20 and did not get any closer. It was pointing way high than the objects I have selected. I checked GPS on my IPAD (where I was running Synscan APP) and it was showing a different reading in longitude than the Compass app, or Google maps on my smartphone. I couldn´t figure out the reason for that. But next time I´ll try to input coordinates by hand too. Let´s see if tracking improve from there. Regards, Henrique Itapevi, SP Brazil.
