the lagoon looks great

Very early days but ok so far Russ. I am hoping that a future version of EQMOD will recognise and work with the home sensors - I was a bit surprised to find that functionality not working.

At the moment I'm reliant on the mount parking correctly before I shut power down. As long as that happens then it's fine. If I lost power then I may need to check the scope manually (or plate solve if I can get the dome lined up with the scope in whatever position it was left).
