Sharpcap reported DEC value differnt from ASCOM

I just purchased a Warp Astron WD20 and have been playing with it in my office to familiarize myself.

I have noticed that when I power on the mount and start Sharpcap, then connect the mount, my RA is reported by Sharpcap as 89:59:59.

When I start the Ascom Hub on the PC and connect to the mount it reports 90:00:00, and when I look at the hand controller it reports 90:00:00.

I am wondering if there is some sync problem between the mount and the PC/Software. I have checked the box for the mount to sync on connection.

Thanks for any ideas you might have.

Hello,

It is no error. It is only a rounding topic.
You will see the same at another RA or DEC position.

Thanks for the reply. When I slew and move all around the Sharpcap numbers and the hand controller numbers stay in perfect sync so it looks as though it creates no problem.
