With lousy weather, opportunities to do much imaging have been few and far between. Which is why, when I recently fired up my observatory-mounted Gemini2/Losmandy Titan, puzzling things began to happen. I use Maxim to run everything including plate solving. But for some reason plate solves take forever now and after I finally get a solution and Sync it, if I then do a Go-To to center the object, the scope goes anywhere but. Not far away, but far enough to require another lengthy solve. And even then, Go-Tos fail in the same way.
My guess is that somewhere in the mix, there is an Epoch setting that is wrong or something of that sort. Time settings are spot on. Alignment also bang on.
I'm running out of ideas.
