Slew Not Converging “Error”
Thursday, November 15, 2018 10:47 AM
Problem(s) Encountered:
When I was going to close at the end and issued the point command, the move halted partway through with a slew not converging error (tracking had been turned off so that wasn''t the problem). I didn''t check the position of
the telescope by hand, but position readout indicated HA=0 and a dec of about 45. Repeating the command put the telescope in the zenith.
The command I was using was
point ha=0 dec=31:57:12 nodome
as usual.
Solutions:
These “converging errors” appear to happen from time to time. I believe something is timing out, but what I do not know. So far, resending the command seems to always resolve the issue.
