Thank you for the quick response, Jasem.

I couldn't find any :Mg[n,s,e,w] commands in the logs. But there are :Me# and :Mw# commands like this one:

[2023-04-04T21:09:22.610 PDT DEBG ][ org.kde.kstars.indi] - ZWO AM5 : "[SCOPE] <MoveTo> "
[2023-04-04T21:09:22.610 PDT DEBG ][ org.kde.kstars.indi] - ZWO AM5 : "[SCOPE] CMD <:Me#> "
[2023-04-04T21:09:22.610 PDT DEBG ][ org.kde.kstars.indi] - ZWO AM5 : "[DEBUG] Moving toward East. "
[2023-04-04T21:09:22.793 PDT DEBG ][ org.kde.kstars.ekos.mount] - Mount status changed from "Tracking" to "Moving E"

I've attached an extract from the Kstars debug log (log_extract.txt) containing the entries where calibration goes from RA drifting forward (west) to RA drifting reverse (east)

If CMD <:GR#> is the command to retrieve the mount's RA position, then you can see in the log extract that the RA continues to increase even after the :Me# command.
