Thanks for the tip.
Quite a long list of fixes. But the Southern Hemisphere Polar Alignment report is one of them plus it mentions getting rid of
ambiguity about software slew limits.
Software slew limits is often a pain for me. I have to set them every time I turn on the Sky X. I usually use -0.5 hours and 0.5 hours.
If I want to slew way past the meridian or usually more safely, I image from way east of the meridian and all the way to the west. I set that then to the 2.5 hours max so long as its clear the filter wheel won't hit the pier.
Is it best practice to do a save when you exit. It doesn't ask if you want to save when you exit like Sky 6.0 did. Also there is a set up Profile option in the menus which I don't know what that does but perhaps you enter your setup and it saves all that for future reference?
An suggestions on slew limits?
I found it was causing a percentage of Tpoint points to fail. I would get slew limits exceeded when I wasn't anywhere near the limit. Odd.
Setting limits to 1.5 hours seemed to stop a lot of that though. I was getting lots of fails and it could mean my model is skewed because some directions don't get added by this quirk.
How do you set your limits? Perhaps I should slew the scope to the max physically then use the current position button for each side rather than adding a number. It also changes one of them to a - .
