Meridian Flip Failure During Sequence

[Jeremy Kozman]

Meridian flips are failing during imaging sequence. Plate solving works fine on it’s own but not when flipping. Used to work perfectly every time before 1.10, now fails every time.

Equipment: NINA 1.10, EQ Mod, Platesolve 2, Windows 8

Is your blind solver Set Up properly? The Message could redet to the blind solver after the inital solche failed. Furthermore i recommend to increase the platesolve retries and adjust the wait in between. Something Like try 5x in 2 Minute intervals

[Jeremy Kozman]

There was a mistake in the blind solver setup. Hopefully that will solve the issue. But I’m still unsure why it’s not able to near solve on the flip.

Steps to prevent the issue: - Setup blind solver - Increase number of attempts in options->platesolving to 5 - Adjust delay between attempts to 2 minutes

Re-open the issue if the problem persists.

I just did some daylight testing of the meridian flip- it looks like a hardware problem with my mount, unfortunately. Should have tried that first. Thanks for your suggestions.
