OK, so slewing seems to break the FocusCube communications somehow. When a meridian flip happens...  something breaks such that the Celestron CGX also breaks.

The slew stops and it never recovers from this.

Hi jerry,

by looking at your log file log_10-49-59_2021-05-03.txt, everything looks fine till the meridian flip.
It is possible that after the meridian flip the USB cable or power cable connected to Pegasus FocusCube
had loose contact. I once had a similar problem with my focuscube. After properly and tight connecting USB and power cable the problem
was gone.

Thanks for that suggestion. I will test the hypothesis in (the) house.
