Very helpful - I was able to sort out the problem between NINA and CPWI settings that caused meridian flip issues.

I realize this video is 3 years old, and you've probably long stopped reading comments here. However, I can't wait to try this during the day today. My meridian flip in NINA seemed to work fine last night...but when it began to plate solve the target for framing, then it went crazy and slewed the wrong way right into the tripod! I powered everything down and tried again. Same result. It was as if the scope didn't know which side of the mount it was now on.

I'm new to this hobby and your video was very helpful in helping me test out Meridian Flip with NINA and my C8 SCT and my Celestron AVX. I had an issue a few nights ago where the flip occurred and it looked like the USB cable from the miniPC to the AVX hand controller came out the bottom of the hand controller. The cable snagged on something I suppose. Trying to salvage my image session the mount slewed to much and the camera (ASI071MC Pro) contacts the tripod leg but luckily everything seems OK. Using your video I have run a couple of simulations to verify even at high altitudes the Meridian Flip works with my settings in NINA and my cables now don't snag. Hope you find the time to start updating this channel. Thanks.

Thankyou for making this. Its so helpful.

Life saver! I am going to get this tested with Green Swap Server. Thanks!

I just had to return to this video again because my different scope mounted mini pc failed to flip. Of course I realized that I had failed to set something or more than one something. I had neglected to reset the mount limits to a bit more than 90 degrees. Once I got those established (another video because I forgot how), the mount flipped smoothly. Of course it was unable to plate solve after the flip because it is daytime. It was unable to re-center the target. I had only basically pointed the mount towards Polaris and hadn't even done a real polar alignment. Hopefully in the dark it will be able to find everything ok. Then it can in theory reslew and recenter after the flip. But at least I know now it's flipping and that's the beauty of this daytime test.

Thank you!

Cheers Joe. Always enjoy your videos . 👍

Im fairly new to NINA, so I just had exactly this type of problem 2 nights in a row. Half of the people who responded to my pleas for help in understanding it said it must be a cable snag. My cables dangle like yours, and I use the same, or similar EQ6-R Pro. I didn't find a cable snag but I had a tight power cable to the auto-focus cube (just fixed it with an extender). The other half of the people think it's a problem with EQMOD working with NINA. This now seems quite probable to me. Tomorrow I am going to try and do exactly what you did. At 2am, it was very hard for me to think! By the time I went outside and looked at the rig, it was fully parallel to the ground but had not flipped. I had "Meridian Flip" ON in the sequencing page, but that's all I had set. Thanks for this video and I will let you know if I get this problem fixed. Your video seems the closest I have found to being about my problems. Well I tried this unsuccessfully this morning. I found that my scope slewed to the target and it looked like a good one. The weights were parallel to the ground on the east side. But the sequence refused to start. The camera needs to be both plugged in and cooled. Then it said I didn't have a file specified. Really? Ok, I put a USB stick in. Sequence still wouldn't start. So I discontinued for today. Also, on the NINA meridian flip page, there is no longer a choice for "engage". I guess Meridian Flip stays engaged.

Hey Joe. Thank you very much. That worked for me. Greetings from Germany, Tobias

Brilliant video I will try this as soon as lockdown is over.

Hey Joe, I'm gona try this! Thanks

Really nice video, thank you for sharing.

Very useful

nice vid

Hey Joe, thanks for the vid. Quick question for you, it looks like you are running the FLT132 on the EQ6-r, am I right? I'm asking because I am tempted to buy it but wasnt so sure about the payload weight for AP. Let me know!!!

Question, will the guiding and imaging automatically resume after the flip ?

that notworking for me , same mount, same programs and setup ,i dont see 6 mins waiting time

I don't know how you managed to work this all out but you made my life easier with your Meridian flip solved. EQMod here with NINA and tested in daylight and it now works. Lately Flat_wizard was not going to zenith and that now also works. Thank you.

Way to many adds for a 10 minute video
