Hi Miguel. Maybe you can explain what the “manual rotator” is, how it works, and how you would envision it being used by PHD2.

PHD2 supports ASCOM-compliant rotators include the ASCOM rotator simulator. So if you added that to a profile, you could manually enter the new rotation angle and PHD2 wouldn’t need to recalibrate. Seems pretty accident-prone to me but it would work.

Yes, that’s right. But if he forgets to key in the new angle position, his subsequent guiding will be a mess. This is how we test rotator-related code in PHD2, it’s not like any of us have a real device. 😊

Hi Miguel. This isn’t something we want to do, it would basically violate some basic design assumptions. PHD2 is a service-provider to imaging applications, it doesn’t act as a client to them and we don’t want to do one-off implementations for all of the higher level apps out there.
Regards,
