Robin,
I have tried to set mount limits of 20 degrees Alt at 0, 90, 180, 359 Az. I can set them OK but when I apply them the scope slews to a random point and hunts to and fro. When I unset limits it stops hunting. Any ideas? I have the latest Sharpcap Beta version and I am using ASCOM. If I don't try and set limits everything works fine.

Re: Mount limits
Hi,
what happens if you try to launch the slew from another application (Cartes du Ciel, Stellarium, etc)? SharpCap doesn't know anything about mount limits and will just send 'move here' commands to the mount, so I suspect that it may be the mount ASCOM driver having a bit of a wobble (in which case the same will happen if you try to make the same sort of movements from another application).
cheers,
Robin
