now and see if that works before you un-spend all the time changing
it back to where it was?
We did make changes in Version 4 to only issue a "stop command" in
the direction it's moving when guiding for LX 200 type mounts too,
which might have been part of the issue. And version 4 can optionally
issue 2 commands to guide on both axis at the same time too, so it's
responds and corrects faster too.
Laslty, because Astro IIDC 4.01.00 is still in Alpha - maybe we can
fix the issue your having if it's not too "weird" a behavior with the
new motors.
If I upgrade now, can I go back to my older version in the future if
necessary? As a rule I don't usually use Alpha or Beta software, but
as long as I have the option to revert without too much hassle, I'll
go ahead and upgrade now. I'm going to eventually anyway.
PS - What's HTH?
HTH..
