Problems with SynScan app for Android
Hi brains trust, Bill here
I've been having weird problems with a client's SW Star Discovery Mak 127, which is on a WiFi Alt-Az mount.
The client uses the Android SynScan app (not the pro) to drive the mount, and when doing a 2-star alignment, we aligned with Betelgeuse no problem, then aligned to Rigel Kent. The app then said it was aligned, but had utterly no idea where it was, and missed its next target by about 30 degrees.
We tried a couple of times with similar results.
When I tried taking over the WiFi with my iPhone, the routine went flawlessly and the mount found targets and tracked well.
Normally my first guess would be time/date/location errors that were getting picked up from the client's phone settings, but these were correct.
Anyone got any idea what might be the problem? Any theories with ways to diagnose it?
I'm stumped!
