I'm posting this here because The synscan INDI driver says its co-author is Jasem.
This driver is not working. It does not point correctly. I know people say to use the EQMOD driver, which does work and I use it, but in the field when you have to setup and takedown each night, the hand controller is NECESSARY for alignment if you don't have plate-solving - because of an unsupported imaging camera for example! NO EQMOD FAN BOYS PLEASE!
Maybe there is something about the synscan driver use that is not explained. I know it has a default park position and this is working. But I'm finding that the driver is screwing up the time settings in the hand controller - after disconnecting and checking the time, its no longer correct. This occurs whether I'm connecting directly via USB from my Mac laptop or remotely to a StellarMate.
