Meridian Flip Problem

[astro mick]

Hi.

I hope someone can help with this.

Once my target has passed the Meridian,i instruct the mount to do a flip.

I tick the little box in the EQMOD park to home panel,but it just slews back to the West.

Even when the target is well passed the Meridian,it still wont flip,the box is still ticked.

What am i doing wrong.

Cheers.

Mick.

@astro mick only just seen this, what mount and software are you using? Also have you tried asking on the https://groups.io/g/EQMOD/   forum as they are very helpful.

I don't use ascom, but in the Linux eqmod driver (indi), I have to clear the mount configuration whenever the flip doesn't work. That always solves the problem. Perhaps something similar is happening here?

Thanks for your help guys.

If it has passed the meridian then don't tick the little box. Just tell it to slew to the target and it will know to do a flip, by ticking the box you're telling it not to do what it normally does
