Hello,
I've noticed the same problem with NEQ5/EQMOD/remote Indiserver -> Kstars
For a lot of targets it runs great, than i've found some target unable to solve (usually near zenith or > 75° without "limits" in Ekos), as dec inversed or too many steps/move...
have you seen a solution ?
I use the EQMOD align system
I purge/reset model each times
