The other thing worth doing is protecting against a Kstars crash (assuming you do unattended observing). If Kstars does crash then there won't be a MF or anything to enforce HA limits. There is a process called Watchdog that runs separately from Kstars and can be setup to take action if there is no longer a heartbeat to Kstars. A basic setup might be to park the mount if there is no heartbeat...
