Test of DestinationSideOfPier fails in southern hemisphere #1

Closed filippo-riccio closed 5 years ago

filippo-riccio commented 5 years ago

Hi,

DestinationSideOfPier is tested with target coordinates at declination +45°, which is under the horizon when the site latitude is < -45°. In this situation Conform reports an error since the driver returns "pierUnknown".

Regards,

Filippo Riccio

Hi Filippo,

I'm guessing that this is the 10Micron driver - I have a GM2000HPS myself so recognise your name from the 10Micron support forum. :smiley:

That does sound like an issue to me, thanks for reporting it. I'll revise the selection of declination to make the test compatible with southern hemisphere coordinates.

Regards, Peter

Hi Filippo,

I've found and fixed the issue, here is a link to a new installer for Conform 6.4.63.0. Please let me know whether this fixes the issue. If it does I'll post the new version as a formal GitHub release.

If the issue remains, please turn debug on on the Conform Options menu, run the test again and post the full log file.

Thanks, Peter

It works! Thank you and see you on the 10micron forum :smiley:

Thanks Filippo, I'm glad it worked! I've now created a release for the new version; you don't need to download it because it's identical to the version you already have.

Regards, Peter
