Hi, I have this question:

I have a motorized go-to mount (HEQ5 PRO), let's say I'm doing a mosaic and I want to image one panel before the meridian flip and another panel after the meridian flip.

What instruction should I use to do this in N.I.N.A.?

​​I would put one instruction set for the first panel and another one for the second panel with slew and center commands, but what trigger/loop condition should be used between them?

Hi Daniele,

you could use the "Loop until time" condition in your instruction set of the first panel. In there you can set the time to "Meridian". Then you could do the flip manually (I mean by command, of course not by hand) and put another command set for the next panel afterwards. This should work, although I never tried it.

Here is the link to the documentation of the command

I hope this helps.

Thank you, I didn't remember that loop until time also had the "meridian" option.
