Hello Astrophotographers,

 

i am currently facing the problem that nina is not able to set the Coordinates to the Telescope (EQMOD ASCOM HEQ5/6).

 

So when i connect the Mount under the "telescope" section in nina, it asks me if i want to sync the coordinates from nina to mount ot from mount to nina and I select the first option. After that i am getting a notification that nina cant set the lat/long to the mount.

 

I have added the corresponding log message and an screenshot of the Error Message (Property ITelescopeFacadeProxy.SiteLongitude SET is not implemented in this driver (EQMOD ASCOM HEQ5/6)).

 

Yes i could set it manually in the EQMOD window, but i have diffrent reasons for syncing it from nina to mount.. i would like to fix this problem..

 

Maybe someone of you knows what is going on here...

 

Clear Skies,

Ricco

SOLVED! Solution: In the ASCOM Settings there is a checkbox called "Allow Site Writes". This box has to be checked.

For those using EQASCOM, open the EQMOD toolbox and in "Driver setting" you'll find the checkbox for "allow site writes" which solves this issue as well.

That is great you answered your question. However, if I were you I would go the other way around and let the mount driver control mount related parameters. Everything else would get the same info from the mount driver as clients.

I have the same problem but don't use EQMOD b/c I have a Celestron mount. I don't find an equivalent setting in my ASCOM settings. Any ideas? Thanks!

Some mount drivers don't allow the lat/long/atitude properties to be written to, only read from. NINA can't know this until it attempts to set them, whereupon the the driver will respond with an error.

 

In this case, it's best to set the mount driver with your desired lat/long/altitude and, if asked, select Telescope to NINA to have NINA set its own lat/long/altitude to what has been set in the mount.
