This is my exact use case also. In fact, my east horizon is just 10-15 degrees off the meridian due to trees. I would love to have the option of the mount always on the 'flipped' side. So it's not "tr

Sorry, I should have explained better my use case. Sometimes I found myself ready to start imaging a subject that is about to pass the meridian (say in 30mins), but didn’t quite. Then I would be happy

I forgot to state also that there is a better alternative to doing a Meridian Flip "on-time" The PMC-EIght and driver is fully capable of tracking up to an hour past the Meridian (depending on mount/s

Hi Jerry, Thanks, that should work. My understanding was that APT could automatically take care of this with a goto move if I clicked in manual meridian flip. ps: I found that starting with the counte

Hi Walter, If you want to do a Meridian flip "early" you can only do that manually, you cannot slew do this with a "goto" or point command with an ASCOM application because the goto always calculates

This is something I wanted to ask at some point too. Manually asking APT to perform a meridian flip with my Exos2 gives an error and doesn’t work. Just wandering if this is my problem or it is a gener

Meridian flip never works for me. When I need to do, I prefer to manually move the mount to other side and make many plat solves until get the target again. I use APT and always failed to meridian fli

One of the things to keep in mind that is a rare occurrence (it has been reported on the forum in the past) is that if you do a Meridian flip and try and solve the new position too soon, that the scop

Al Some of your suppositions about things are not right, but your bottom line conclusion that the rn131 settings are altered and thus not working for you are correct. The main thing is that the pmc8 c

Hi Wes, Thanks for your further thoughts. I can say for certain the RN-131 is connectable when it is broadcasting - the yellow LED flashing on and off confirms that - but that is only possible when I

Al There is one setting on the run 131 setup that sets it for its external antenna. Suggest you put your PC immediately next to the pmc8 and see can it connect. If the external antenna is not selected
