100° - 90° = 10° - 2.5° = 7.5°.
or 90° + 7.5° = 97.5° (point of flip)
Note: Safety Limits may not take effect until you power down and back up. That has been my experience, however the writer of the firmware says they take effect when set.

The Western Goto Limit determines how far pass the meridian that the
Gemini-2 will do a flip. It is calculated like this. Note
that the Meridian is at 90°. The point of Meridian Flip = Western
Safety Limit - Goto Limit. An example is if you have the Western
Safety limit set to 100° - The Western GoTo limit of 2.5°
(default) you end up with a point of flip of 97.5°, or 7.5
degrees past the meridian. Any target selected that is past this
will do a meridian flip. Any target on the East side (Northern
Hemisphere) will not do a meridian flip. 100° - 90° = 10° - 2.5° = 7.5°. or 90° + 7.5° = 97.5° (point of flip) Note: Safety Limits may not take effect until you power down and back up. That has been my experience, however the writer of the firmware says they take effect when set. |
