Hi,my name Is Valerio, i wanted to automate more my setup, i installed nina and GS server, i tried doing the meridian flip, i setted 0 minutes After the meridian, started the sequence and First thing nina did was the meridian flip, even if the target was not on the meridian, my scope ended up crashing into the mount, does anybody know how to set the mount limits on GS server and what to set on the meridian flip in nina?Thank you

In GS I have the flip angle set to 0, In Nina minutes after is set to 10, max is set to 15, use telescope side of pier (on), recenter after flip (on), settle time 30 sec, pause before meridian 0.

These numbers have worked well for me. The way to think about is, the setting in GS is the time after meridian when it will accept a flip command. The first two numbers in NINA aer the window in which NINA will command a flip. The window has to be longer than your longest sub exposure time.

Hope that helps.
