Re: Uth oh... Dec switch fail?
Got a chance to look into what happened. It turns out the Spindle is WAY up in the trees and does not come out until like 4 AM.
So somehow it got a couple of frames through holes in the trees!
Nothing wrong with the equipment, it's operator error again

Re: Uth oh... Dec switch fail?
After having another failed sequence Friday night I checked and sure enough I had started a target slightly too early and it too was in the trees.
I went ahead and addressed a few other things. Made sure theHC and mount firmware were up to date. Checked the slew limits and set them to -15 degrees past meridian . Also replaced the USB cable for the guide camera and re-dressed the wiring harness.
Finally got a full nights sequence dusk to dawn last night, no errors, and landed in the proper park position and quit tracking!
That's more like it!

Guys. Did a factory reset and then updated again and it MAY have solved it.
