Correct tracking rate?

Hi Robin,

if I control my mount per sequence via EQMOD (Lunar or Solar), then the tracking rate "Custom" runs under EQMOD.

"None" or "Sidereal" is accepted correctly.

I think that the tracking rate is correct in reality and only the wording in EQMOD is misleading?

Best regards!

Hi,

yes, the same happens with EQMOD if you set the tracking rate in SharpCap or some other application to Solar/Lunar or King rates - EQMOD doesn't quite handle it correctly. As you say, the tracking is correct, but the display in EQMOD is wrong ...

I don't think EQMOD is really being developed any more - it's a shame really, but I had a look at the code once and it is all writtten in Visual Basic 6 if I remember rightly, so you have to use development tools from about 20 years ago to work with it...

cheers,

Robin
