Hi All,
I'm just about at my wit's end regarding this issue, so any assistance or insight would be super helpful at this point. I've been using this exact equipment for months with no issues, using the same software versions for PHD2, etc.
Here's the scenario:
I set up my equipment, balanced, loaded up my laptop with PHD2, slew to my target for the night, and began PHD2 calibration. PHD2 then throws an error: "RA and DEC are at questionable angles" or "PHD2 is unable to make sufficient corrections," etc.
After Re-setting up my equipment, balancing, arranging cables, etc, and loading up my laptop with PHD2, slewing back to my target and begin the PHD2 calibration. I encounter the same errors. Even after powering off the mount and attempting a PHD2 calibration again.
At this stage, I decided to re-install PHD2 and setup the software from scratch. While there was some progress, it would keep failing the calibration (PHD2 would report "Star Lost" every time) when doing the north adjustments. I also noticed when performing a drift align, the RA (Blue line) would not show, only the DEC (Red line)
I setup everything a third time, re-installed etc and this time PHD2 would just let the star I was calibrating on drift away, despite EQmod allowing me to slew on all axis.
I then pulled out another device, which I've used with this equipment previously, and did the routine from scratch, only to find the same issue.
Equipment details:
Mount: Skywatcher EQ6-r Pro
Guide Camera: ZWO 120mm
Connection: USB for both.
Here are the logs I captured:

Thank you for the assistance! It's strange because literally weeks before, I had it all set up and working brilliantly, taking 3-minute subs and tracking like a dream.
