My problem:
I power up the G11 mount, connect to ACP via Gemini.NET driver, and slew to a first star using ACP in order to do the first sync (alternatively, I use FindBrightStar).
When ACP has a model built, and I have not connected for a couple of days, this first slew is often fairly far off (2-3 degrees). As a result, plate solves fail and the mount is lost.
If I can manually get the star centered (I am on site), then once I sync everything works OK. Once this happens, I can shut down, power off and on, reconnect, and the first slew is accurate.
If there is no model, the first slew is fine.
If I power up and just connect with the Gemini hand paddle (Warm Restart), then the first slew if also fine. I am finding that the problem only occurs when I have a model active in ACP and a couple of days have elapsed since I shut down.
