One more here. A few days ago I was sitting inside doing the 30 degree rotation and it never showed signs of ending. When I went outside my 12" astrograph was upside down as far as it could and had slammed into the mount. No damage fortunately.
I tried again last night sitting right by the scope ready to press Stop. When it kept moving I pressed Stop and nothing happened. I ran to the power strip and turned everything off as fast as I could. Later I noticed the "Are you sure?" dialog, lol. In emergency situations in the dark I could do without the confirmation request!
Meanwhile BTW I am enjoying Ekos a lot, it is fantastic, very solid and thanks to all developers working on it.
