Hi,
no real list - I do know that EQMOD will reject a sync if the offest is too large with a relatively sensible error message ('Sync rejected by mount' or similar).

Plate Solving and resync - too many stars
Re: Plate Solving and resync - too many stars
Hello,
I tried using the Plate Solve and Resync again, but this time with a 90 degree search radius. It worked, as it said that it worked sucessfully and moved to some position, but after trying to slew to a real target like Pleiadis it was slewing to the wrong place again. I'll look into it in more detail when I got more time for it, like the RA and DEC data, but I'm wondering what could go wrong after it said that it synced correctly.

Hi,
worth looking in the SharpCap log after the sync is done - SharpCap records the mount co-ordinates before and after the sync. I've seen cases before where the mount seems to accept the sync command (no error is generated), but actually has silently ignored it![Sad :(](./images/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif)
