In the SlewTo and AbsSlewTo methods, you can see it checks to see how far away the target is from the current position. If it's beyond a certain threshold, it uses fast mode, otherwise slow mode. You can try skipping the test and just always using slow mode.

Something like changing this:

    if (deltaraencoder > static_cast<int32_t>(lowspeedmargin))
        useHighSpeed = true;
    else
        useHighSpeed = false;

to this:
    useHighSpeed = false;

There are similar checks for RA and Dec. And the change would need to be made in AbsSlewTo and SlewTo methods.

I'd do it myself, but it's still raining here, so I don't dare take the cover off of my mount to test it out. :D
