I’ve been troubleshooting this for a few weeks now. Not seeming to get anywhere. For months, automatic meridian flips have worked, but just recently they have stopped functioning and it will shutdown my sequence in which I have to manually resume.
I have the latest SGP, PHD2, and Skywatcher SynScan App software along with all the latest ASCOM drivers for all of my equipment.
My mount is a EQ6-R Pro.
I attempted to research online and within the SGP support forum and am not really seeing much that is able to help me.
I’ve attached the profile and log from this evening. Automatic meridian flip attempted at 03/08/20 23:24, which failed due to “Aborting sequence: User aborted meridian flip”. Further down you can see I manually resumed the sequence and it performed a meridian flip with no issues. Which has been the typical behavior. I watched the attempt this evening, it pops up a box which I’m assuming is the message about waiting, and it closes almost immediately and then aborts the sequence and starts running end of sequence tasks.
