If you are using a GPS dongle in StellarMate, then it would be sufficient to sync the StellarMate system time and location once powered
up. Without the GPS dongle, using the StellarMate App is the next best option as it always keeps StellarMate system time and location
synchronized with your phone/tablet.
Mount Model
When using EQMod mount or any mount that uses INDI Alignment Subsystem, it improves its GOTO accuracy by building a model of
the night sky in the driver itself. This is in contrast to traditional mounts when the model is built in the handset (e.g. Meade). Sometimes
the model inadvernetly lead to wrong GOTOs and you keep adding more sync points to correct this issue, it might end up getting
worse. The best thing to do in this situation is to follow these steps:
1.
If the mount is not already unparked, unpark it (click the green flag in the toolbar).
2.
Go to Ekos Mount tab, and click on Purge all configuration. This will clear all settings related to the mount.
