Question

Hi guys,
I am using Backyard Nikon 2.0.2, Mountain instruments MI-250 mount (using Gemini Level 4 GOTO), connected to my computer via RS232 cable (thru USB adaptor). I use ASCOM Gemini telescope .NET driver. I also use DSUSB to trigger the bulb shutter.
When I use dithering, Backyard Nikon takes a few shots as expected - capture, download, dither, waiting, capture, and so forth. However, after 5th or 6th shot, the usual dithering move triggers sudden full speed slew and the mount rotates in RA until it reaches it's safety limits.
I tried another RS232-USB adapter with same result.
I have very similar issue with direction buttons in the "ASCOM Telescope" area. Sometimes, when I click one of the RA buttons, it moves just slightly and then stops. It just makes kind of "step" move. Other times, when I click one of the RA buttons, in the very same way as before, it starts fast slewing, and goes until it reaches the safety limits.
This issue makes the dithering function unusable for me.
What could be causing these problems, please?
Thank you,
Frank
