sub par calibration

[Paul Wilson]

Ok, trying this conversation again.  I have a new IOptron mount, never previously used.  I knew I needed to calibrate my guiding so I used the calibration assistant, slewed to the equatorial zenith, and pushed calibrate.  It went through the steps and then said it didn't produce a good result and to repeat the process.  I did and the outcome was the same.  Guiding did start, and I am attaching what I hope are the correct logs.

this seems like a duplicate of your prior message. Did you see my response to that?

I think Paul experienced some kind of a spasm during his cut and paste of the link.  The correct one is here:

This looks like a mess.  The profile name is the same between 8/21 and 9/16 - probably the same profile - but the cameras are different:

8/21:  Camera = ZWO ASI662MC, gain = 44, full size = 1920 x 1080, (probably the correct camera)

9/16: Camera =  Camera = ZWO ASI2600MM Pro, gain = 44, full size = 6248 x 4176 (probably not the right camera)

It looks very much like the OP hasn't used the new-profile-wizard to carefully create a new profile for his modified set-up.  As a result, the calibration step-size is currently wrong by at least 2x which is why the Calibration Assistant barked about the result ("steps").   The guiding actually doesn't look very good either but I don't think this is worth pursuing until all these setup-related things are straightened out.
