The StellarMate Plus Manual

performs calibration, and resumes autoguiding. If In-Sequence focuing is enabled,
it will also capture and focus a suitable star. It then resumes the capture process
form where it left.
All these steps are completely automated and require no user intervention!
So just set when you want the meridian flip to occur at the mount module.
Remember that the setting is in Hour Angle (HA). 1 HA = 15 degrees, therefore
0.1 HA = 1.5 degrees West of the Meridian.
Always use a positive value to ensure proper meridian flip takes place. Using zero
could theoretically work but it is at the very edge where the decision to flip or
not is made by the mount, so it's safer to use a slightly higher value like 0.1 HA.
