Åke, I checked your logs. The first three logs you posted show all the same behavior: there is a slew to a certain position, that succeeds, but in none of the cases EKOS recognizes the necessity of a meridian flip ( I guess you slew to a position close, but east of the meridian) and then either the mount stops tracking (log 1 and 3) or parks (log 2). There is something configured in your mount that triggers this, it does not look like something that EKOS triggers.

In the latest log (that one that has been posted as a single one) the meridian flip seems to succeeds, but immediately after the flip the mount parks. I have no explanation what triggers this parking.

@Ron: in your case, it's different. The meridian flip is triggered by EKOS, but your mount decides not to switch the counterweight position. It seems like EKOS and your mount hardware do not agree whether the position it's pointing to is before or after the meridian. EKOS thinks it's beyond the meridian, your mount has a different opinion. The explanation for this is typically a time or location gap between both. If not, it typically helps increasing the meridian flip delay.
