Ekos log
SUMMARY
Enabled HA limit may throw Ekos off in the middle of meridian flip.
See the log after 2020-08-16T00:49:54.064
Mount is Celestron AVX. I have RA tracking limit set there to 20 degrees, which
should be bigger than Ekos HA limit and flip tolerance.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have HA limit set to 1h.
2. Have meridian flip enabled at 0.5h.
3. Run a job that crosses the meridian.
OBSERVED RESULT
While the mount is moving for flip, the HA limit warning is raised and the
mount is stopped in the middle. Ekos proceeds as if the mount moved where it is
supposed to. Moreover, Ekos seemigly changes its desired target coordinates to
where the mount was stopped. So, it that successfully aligns to wrong
coordinates and happily starts capturing.
EXPECTED RESULT
Align module should not change its target in the middle of a job for any
reason!
HA limits should not restrain the meridian flip if everything was OK just
before the flip started. Perhaps, disable it entirely for the duration of the
flip slew.
