Hi,  My Mach2 failed to meridian flip last night.. I've looked at the logs and nothing jumps out at me.   I was using SGP as well, and normally meridian flips are done with little drama but best I can tell last night, based on the SGP log which I can reference as well, a command was sent to the telescope to flip but a flip never occurred and the mount just kept on tracking without flipping all night (not imaging either) until it hit the mount stop point and stalled.  The flip command was sent by SGP at 2:03am on the 24th.    I will also contact SGP and provide the log(s) to them.    Here is a link to my log zipper file:

The SGP log file (if it helps at all) is here and will be sharing with the SGP team:

Thanks for any clue as to what I might have done wrong in setup or control.    I used the same sequence as used on a prior nights successfully.

Hi Terri,

Thanks for any clue as to what I might have done wrong in setup or control. I used the same sequence as
used on a prior nights successfully.

The ASCOM log file does not show any attempt by SGPro to issue a slew command to do the pier flip.

Thank you Ray, I will contact SGPro folks to see what they have to say.     That software gets updated frequently and I'm on their beta 4.0 64bit version so maybe this is a new issue.

Thank you Marcelo, I have had that happen in the past, but it was obvious what had happened and it was my own setup fault.     My rotation angle was off a bit and I was in bed when it needed to be changed... so after some long time, it timed out and aborted.    
This time, it seems like the meridian flip was called for in SGP (whatever that means) but according to Ray no command occurred in ASCOM to move the mount.    The SGP folks are looking at it now.
