EQMOD and the Polar/Home position
I have started to experience an alignment and tracking problem using EQMOD. The scope is on a pier-mounted EQ6 that finds and tracks very well using the handpad and alignemt is very goodl in both axes. But whenever I instruct EQMOD to return the mount to the Park/Home position, it returns to the right altitude setting but the wrong azimuth - wrong by about 1.5 degrees. It insists on returning to 178 deg and about 30mins - more or less. I have also noted that an error seems to have crept into my slews and that is pretty much the size and direction of the error too. So somehow I have to convince ASCOM/EQMOD that it is actually pointing to 180" degrees and not 178.5 or so. Anyone encountered this problem?
