Enabling meridian flip early?

#1

Post by Moorefam »

Robin,
Tonight I wanted to change filters and start meridian flip early at approx 170 degrees AZ to save the auto flip that takes place within the hour. I can't see any way to do that?

Hi,

there's no built in meridian flip feature yet in SharpCap (it's on the to-do list), although you can build your own through the sequencer. If that's what you've done then there is no 'flip early' option other than stopping the current sequence and then starting a new one.

PS. Can your mount track past the meridian in both directions? My mount goes up to the meridian and stops dead, so I presume that it will also be unhappy about an early flip which would make it go past the meridian in the other direction.

cheers,

Robin

Robin,
Sorry it's in EQMOD I have been having the issue not Sharpcap. The same applies to mount limits. I have had so many problems with the setup tonight my brain is a bit scrambled.
