Hi all,
After weeks of cloudy weather, yesterday it was finally clear. So I could test my setup for the first time. I have a mobile set-up :
I have my HEQ5 connected by a cable between the handcontroller and the raspberry PI. When using the EQMOD - driver I set the handcontroller to PC direct. During photographing a serie I notice the HEQ5 stops tracking which results in a failure of guiding. As a consequence I need to recenter the object and restart the guiding. Sometimes it happens after 4 photo's, sometimes after one.
Any insights in what I'm doing wrong?
kind regards,
Gunther
