Since ASIAIR does not complain when it was asked to do a GOTO, I decided to try a workaround, which proves to work. But it is not always appropriate to let ASIAIR do auto centering (I leave it off most of the time since it stops centering before the target is completely centered). Interestingly, if you turn on GoTo Auto-Center in the Mount Setup window, the ASIAIR will repeatedly plate solve and center the target that it failed to do with Sync & GoTo. Sync & GoTo was still failing even after Regulus has crossed the Meridian to the west. I then chose Dubhe, which is closer to the pole (and is a circumpolar star for me), and both GOTO and Sync & GoTo worked fine with that target. Interestingly, a GOTO works for both Regulus and Denebola, so ASIAIR does recognize that the objects are above horizon but then ASIAIR contradicts itself when Sync & GoTo is clicked and reporting that the exact same object is now below horizon. (RainbowAstro RST-135 mount.)ĪSIAIR failed in a similar fashion for both Regulus and Denebola, both of which were high in the sky and east of the Meridian (Regulus was just 30 minutes before Meridian crossing). I was finally hit by the Sync & GoTo failing after a Plate Solve, reporting that the target is below Horizon.
