When you say "it's not working" do you mean there is no difference between an image with the astrotracer on and off? Is it tracking in the wrong direction? Is it tracking but not moving enough...or too much?

I'm also having problems with the astrotracer, using both the O-GPS1 (on a K-50) and also with the K3-II. Here is a link to my post that shows the problem I'm having. In my case the astrotracer is clearly doing something but not moving the sensor enough to accurately track the stars.

there is no difference between shooting with and without astrotracer at long exposure (30sec.+) =(

That's very interesting. I find it odd that the GPS part of the O-GPS1 is working but the astrotracer does nothing. One of the questions I was asked in my thread was:

"Has the astrotracer symbol shown up on the reat lcd along with the green gps symbol?".

In my case it has but it might be something worth checking.
