Goto behavior with Voyager 2.3.4 release

Releases

Few users have found a problem on Goto. In the Release 2.3.4 of Voyager I’ve remove a handle leak from ASCOM Astrometry Library instancing. They have recommend me to use a single instance of library, this seems need the use of the latest version of ASCOM 6.5 SP1 Platform or at least this one version ( a lot of bug fixed from initial version 6.5 SP1 of Platform so its also strongly recommend to update in anycase) :

Please, if you experience the issue reported in this thread be sure to updating the ASCOM version.
Is not a general problem but depend on how your ASCOM mount driver interact with the ASCOM Library.

Please ask for support if needed.

Leonardo,

thanks for your quick reply. Currently I´m still using ASCOM 6.5.0.3091, so I guess this will cause the issue. I´ll try the upgrade tomorrow and report back.

Ciao,

Hello Leonardo,

The Mesu mount is affected. I just updated to version 2.3.4 of Voyager and had this issue. I updated to Ascom 6.5 SP1 and it was fixed. Thanks for the thread. It has saved me a lot of time.
Best Regards,

Jose

Thanks Leo, this affected our Paramount MX+ which wasn’t slewing to the target. The update resolved this.
