Don’t know how many times I’ve done that. Wot an idiot I am. Also check modelling pointing. It’s possible a bad pointing model point has been added (can you deleted starts that are way off!). Might be best to build another new model just do a 3 star and on subsequent warm boot synchronise to a known good star and it’ll update the new model.
If at worse resort to Gemini ASCOM of just HC (non ASCOM) and check modelling pointing accuracy is ok. If so there is possible wrong data being sent to the Gemini throwing off modelling.
Also check Gemini ASCOM isn’t throwing in spurious location data on connect! It’s like finding a holy grail but in most cases the fix is simple cannot see the tress for the woods.
Lastly reset it all start again this time don’t use a planetarium 3rd party program and build a model one step at a time for this.
Lastly check the Gemini RTC Clock Is accurate and not drifting.
If no joy and it’s a continuous issue then let’s cross that hurdle vehement ween we get there. I have a metrology setup to count Ra rate to very accurate values over let’s say an hour or more. To 3 decimal places. Do
So I can confirm Ra rates snd correct slewing etc happy to test for free for you!.
Cheers Bren.
FWIW
