Usually I shoot always from east to meridian or from meridian to west.
Yesterday as the weather wasn't really favourable for a good night of astrophotography.
So I decided to check how works the meridian flip.
My setup is compound with a Ioptron CEM60 and a Nikon D5300 as main camera.

I choose an object close to the meridian and start a capture session.
After having passed the meridian, the mount flipped. And ... nothing happened after that no more astrometry or calibration of the mount.
I suspected the camera to be responsible of it ... but the cam still worked fine.
I browse all configs but didn't find any reason to that behaviour.

If there is somebody using a setup close to mine do they notice such problem ?
