Hello,
A very specific question! Let’s say that I implement a ‘proxy’ ASCOM driver for my rotator that will enforce the physical angle to stay between 0 to 180 degrees by translating out-of-bounds moves to corresponding positions 180 degrees apart. Would this cause problems with SGP’s platesolve/centering feature? As I understand the current “±180” degree option will work correctly if the initial position is 180 degrees apart. But if SGP’s centering moves the rotator, my driver intercepts it and makes a move to a different but opposite position, will the subsequent plate solves accept this unexpected angle?
Of course, in the long term an implementation of Missing global/profile option for rotators - Feature Requests - Main Sequence Software would be the way to go, but this would solve my issues for the time being with less than one evening of effort on my part.
Thanks!
