Mach2 tracking below custom horizon
To see if SGP has something similar as Voyager's watchdog, you can just start a quick session with SGP and click tracking off at any point in the A-P ASCOM driver or APCC window and observe if trackin

There's a way to get Chrome to display certain sites in High Contrast mode, although it's not straight-forward to enable. This might help you with colors, which I don't think are under a mailing list

Guiding on my plate again - NEED TO IMPROVE
I'm sure the NINA team appreciates the shout-out but I think app proselytizing is for a different venue. If SGPro works for Brian and his needs don't go beyond its capabilities, then there's no fault

Oh, of course another option is to just ask Prime Luce if they can just make the cable for you. Filippo is very nice to talk with and will likely understand this need. /dale

Prima Luce does sell the individual power connectors, so you can make your own power pole cable with an Eagle-style power connector on one end. I believe you would need this one: https://www.primaluce
