Leo, first test success! I ran my first test of the externally-triggered meridian flip last night. I did it in an On The Fly sequence. As the second image was being taken I forced a meridian flip in APCC. I got 6 or so immediate guide errors, with some other messages following. Abort image I think? Seemed at about 10 seconds after the flip started, there was an “Initiating Meridian Flip” message. The flip continued til completion, there was a plate solve and recentering. This took awhile as AP does “safety slews” with the CW up, slewing to the meridian, the skewing back in RA then DEC to maximize safety. But it worked! There was a guide calibration, focusing, resuming guiding and imaging and successfully completed the run! So thanks very much! I’ll try to do more later this week.
