Using the newest beta.3649 I get an error when trying to move my NexStar mount at 4 degrees/sec using the ASCOM arrows in SharpCap It only happens at 4 degrees/sec and so far only when I try to move the mount to the left. Aparently the mount things it is trying to move at 4.00416666666667'/sec and doesn't like it.

Using the ASCOM/Celestron onscreen window makes things work OK.

I'd consider this a back burner problem

Just wanted to check - did this problem happen in previous builds or is it something new with the latest one?

cheers,

It also happened on the prior build so nothing new.
