Celestron aux alt-az guiding #869

Closed ijessen closed 8 months ago

ijessen commented 8 months ago

Describe the bug Yes - I'm trying to guide an alt-az mount. No, it's probably not a good idea and I should at least get a wedge. Leave that aside.

There's a units mixup. m_GuideOffset is set to an integer number of steps, while it's later interpreted as an angular offset in degrees.

Exact steps to reproduce the behavior.

  1. Run driver
  2. Issue a manual guide pulse
  3. Watch the world go spinning by

Obviously an easy fix - I'm only dropping the issue here so that someone more familiar with the project can chime in on whether there are other alt-az mount drivers, and whether they may have the same issue and be subject to the same fix.
