Can anybody offer any reasons for this, or is this normal? I have watched Yu Tube vid's on the configuration and there is no hint of this start and stopping.

You might get a better response if you post this question starting a new thread instead of in this beginners thread 👌 But your problem sounds familiar to me when I'm choosing targets near the South Pole. It seems to be a glitch there that annoys the hell out of me I'm not sure if your having this issue all the time or is it just certain targets? And another issue I can have sometime is that my ascom location doesn't match my Stellarium location so check these. Every time I move location from home to snake valley I have this issue it's only taken me a few years to work that out hahahaha I'm on to it now cheers and good luck
