Hello Members,
Got our for the first time in a while, and was certainly rusty.
EQ mode on the AZ EQ6, all setup on my newly installed (several months ago!) pier.
Unparked from Home (SCP) and slewed to a target close but west of the meridian. telescope crashed into the pier. Nearly happened again after a re setting up, but stopped it in time. Don't recall this ever happening before....oh, and i'm using EQ ASCOM.
What has gone wrong and how do I stop it from occurring again. Ive never setup to do a Meridian flip due to so many cautions against it.
Thanks in advance
