Hello,

Since a couple of months I have noticed that our mount gets from time to time a velocity in RA of exactly 0.15041068619..."/s without any raison (no moving target). We then loose the data of course because the filed is drifting a lot. It looks like sideral velocities but 100x smaller !

From the driver of our NTM mount we can see that we get nearly at the same time 2 commands (see below) one setting the RA vel to to 0.01" of RA and then right after puts it to 0. But our driver is not able to make this second command because both arrive at the same time ! So sometimes this velocity reach the mount.

Do you know why ACP is sending is such a velocity (sideral/100) to the mount ? I dont see any obvious raison.
Could it come from focusMAx ?

Thank you!
Emmanuel
