I generally choose my targets and set up the sequence such that a meridian flip will occur around midnight-ish. I will typically stay up to make sure this happens successfully, and once that has occurred I can go to bed knowing that if I subsequently lose power or have a pc crash or whatever and the mount just keeps tracking, that when I get up in the morning the mount is still hours away from pointing at the ground and potentially hitting the pier.
i also have mount limits set in eqmod so that if nina stops/crashes but eqmod is still running that if I reach the horizon or meridian limits and nina hasn't already taken action that the mount will go into park.
