Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer GTi SynScan pro app not saving changes

Hi all,

I can't seem to update the Guiding Rate settings in the app. When I make the change from 0.5x Sidereal to just Sidereal the settings revert back to the default when I leave the screen (Settings > Advanced) and come back in.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

For context:

I'm super new to everything astrophotopgraphy, this is my first set. Also new to the forum so if there is a better channel for this, please let me know.

I have the Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer GTi and am just getting to grips with how it works. For now, I'm learning what the app does while indoors and will get out asap (it's been cloudy anyway). I wanted to get an approximate of alignment just to see if I can get the tracking working (I realise 'working' isn't really accurate, I just want to see the mount move for now).

Out the box the app defaults to tracking being off. Then the two guiding rates (Guiding rate RA/AZ and Guiding rate Dec/Alt) are set to 0.5 x sidereal.

My understanding is that this means tracking will be running at 50% slower than it should be to maintain tracking/alignment with an object.

App is on Android, but I've also tried via the desktop app on MacOS

Guiding Rate set to 0.5 Sidereal means:

The mount tracks at Sidereal Rate.

But if you guide the mount, with a computer, a guide camera, and a guide scope.

The tracking is briefly slowed down/speeded up by +/- 0.5 by the guide programme.

Only just seen this so apologies.

I'm auto going with Nina,  should be messing with this value?

Ty reading it now. Want to make sure I don't make stuff worse :)

holy moly that's a lot of info. I think adjusting this goes on my list but below trying longer exposures/higher or lower gain and couple other bits.

Generally I have found that answers on Cloudy nights can be broken down as follows:

Useful Responses:      25%, of which 20% of those may be in the 'Supreme Knowledge' category

Demonstration of ones awesomeness:  45%, whereby the answer often has little relevance to the question but is an opportunity for the drive-by respondent to show off their own set up, knowledge, name drop, preen or indulge in 'premium snobbery', often sidetracking into established feuds and cognitive bias

'You don't want to do it like that':  30%, where the respondent simply ignores the OP and any stated constraints or parameters, and recommends something utterly irrelevant as a result of their own set up, methods or experience. Note there may be some overlap with 'Demonstration of ones awesomeness'

It definitely has a very different vibe to sgl. I don't mind trawling, but there is definitely a lot to trawl through :)
