Hi, I have a new 1100GTO mount and I encountered something strange when I started it up this evening.

I was following my usual routine of powering on the mount and slewing to an open area of the sky. The scope slewed to an unexpected location below the horizon and I noticed in the ASCOM driver window that the LST was off by about 5 hours.

Trying to fix the problem I clicked "Resync Mount to PC Time", but that had no effect.  Next I tried "Send Longitude/Latitude to Mount" but that had no effect either.  Finally I terminated all my ASCOM clients to shutdown the ASCOM driver, then restarted it by connecting an ASCOM client.  At this point LST was correct.

Here are the logs from the log zipper: http://adgsoftware.com/misc/AscomZip-Andy_Galasso-2015-06-16-210550.zip

I am very concerned that if this happens again and the LST is off by a larger amount it could cause a pier crash.  Is there any more info I can provide to help diagnose the problem?

I'm using the v5.06.05 driver.
