Home Position in EQMOD
I am determined to make EQMOD work for me. But it's putting up a fight. The problem seems to be a mixture of alignment and basic configuration of the software.
I believe my EQ6 (which is pier-mounted) is pretty well aligned. But whenever I use EQMOD my go-tos are way off and I just noticed that when I Park to Home position, the Altitude is right on but the azimuth is 1.8 degrees off (it reads 181.8 or some such instead of 180.
Well, I've had the spirit levels and ouiji board out and set the levels again and then, when it seemed to me the scope was pointing 180 deg Az, ans the Alt remained right, tried to reset the Home or Park position to that, so the scope would return to that position on a Park command: but the beast seems determined to return to 181.8 deg. I can't find muvh help on this issue in the docs or furm s and wondered if there was anyone knowledgeable in the wonderful world of ASCOM, EQMOD, who can help me with this.
