Yeah the 1100 is really well designed. If a bonehead like me can use it for 5 years and not have it be smoldering pile of aluminum -- anyone can use it. 😂 Speaking of design, there is a sentiment on C

This is good to know! So if I released the mount with the lever, and moved it from Park 3 position to Part 5 position, and locked the lever, and told the mount to home (lets say home == park 3) then i

The 1100 is incredible. Highly portable and can fit in nicely in an observatory if needed. Rock solid and 100% dependable.

Ap1200 / TheSkyX jog runaway
The driver you attempted to use in TSX was their x2 plugin. Select ASCOM Mount. Then go into the settings for ASCOM Mount and you should get the usual ASCOM chooser.

Dec limit in Mach2
FWIW, I just did the same test with my Mach 2 and had no issues. I don't use limits or custom horizons though.

Turn off your custom limits and try again. Same test just without defined limits turned on.

Voyager has a tracking watchdog. If you were using Voyager it likely started it again.
