<p class="MsoNormal">FWIW, I have a CGX driven by a Mac running KStars 3.5.2 and I don’t seem to be having a ***new*** problem with guiding calibration.

<p class="MsoNormal">However, in 3.5.0 I could not get calibration to work with SEP Multi-Star until I selected the 2-AllStars profile. No other profile would make it through calibration (it would quickly lose track of the guide star). The SMART algorithm

it had to be somewhere in that code. But yes, it could certainly be something in INDI as well. The power of multiple minds. . .<o:p></o:p></p>

At the weekend I had a night of opportunity of clear skies, I had a lot <br>
of issues that night, but was running a self compiled INDI, <br>
INDI-3rdParty and Kstars from Git for my equipment on my Raspberry Pi <br>
Astroberry.<br>
<br>
Once I got over most of the issues I set off the scheduler and found <br>
that I couldn't complete guiding calibration either on my Celestron CGX. <br>
It failed at the DEC Reverse... stage.<br>
<br>
So perhaps not a problem with the Mac, but a problem with the CGX driver?<br>
