Software Bisque MX+ mount

I’m using the MX+ mount and still a little confused if I should be selecting “offset” or Sync in the telescope equipment tab…

When doing Auto Centering, offset seems to work with Platesolve2

Can someone clarify?

As of 2.6.0.10, you should use “Target Offset” so that SGPro does not fight with your mount’s model.

Great, was hoping that. Do you have the “inhibit sync” checked on TSX ASCOM control panel or do you allow syncs here?

Good question. Not 100% sure. Hopefully another TSX user can comment here.

It will depend (sort of) on which version of TSX you are using. If using the newest it doesn’t really matter because it doesn’t allow a sync anyway. But I have “inhibit sync” checked. The previous version did allow a sync which could affect your pointing model (doesn’t really matter if plate solving). If using “target offset” in SGP it’s not sending a sync anyway, right?
