Hi AListair,

I havnt actually tried it on a star yet. I just watch the RA value and how it changes. I have tested v1.1.0 tonight, again with no stars.
RA ends up back were it started from, albiet after the image has finished exposing. I have a 5-7sec turn around between changing directions.

Eg. 30 sec selected. Press "move", maxim starts to capture, at 5sec mount starts to move, at 20sec CCD-Align issues change of direction, it then takes 5-7sec before the RA changes direction, at 35sec maxim stops exp. at about 41secs RA stops, usually back at start postion.

So for the 30 I have a star trail that is at least 15secs long one way but the return trail is only about 8secs long.
60 I would have a trail 30sec long and the return trail would be about 27-28 sec long.

If this weather clears I will be able to try it with a star but I cant see any problems with it.


Hope this makes sense.

cheers
