Looks like the motor failed to drive the focuser in the opposite direction. Could be weight, slippage, resistance to very small turns on the fine focus assembly.

The motor wasn't binding, It worked before nicely, maybe I picked the wrong star.
I'll try the settings from above next time and see how it goes.
