Thanks for your kind comment
“Manual Meridian Flip” means that it’s “not totally automated” to flip and re acquire and exactly reframe the object on the other side of the meridian and continue to capture
I use EQMOD for tracking and Goto so when the object passes the meridian by a few degrees, EQMOD senses it’s position and stops the tracking then sends the mount back to home position. I then have to Goto the object on the other side using my normal method of navigating by syncing Stars and leap frog across to the object again. Only takes a couple of minutes to “manually” re acquire the object again , frame it up and start the capture again. I suppose it’s semi automatic not totally “manual”
Hope the above makes sense ??
