Spiral Search Bug
I noticed that if you attempt to do a Spiral Search on the fastest Slew speed it can go out of control and cant be stopped with the Stop button.

Re: Spiral Search Bug
Hi,
thanks for the report.
That's an odd one, as there is no reason I can think of that it would be harder to stop at high speeds compared to low ones (apart from you have less time I suppose). Maybe somehow the mount gets upset about being told to move one direction at high speed, then stop 1s later, then move another way and so on.
I think the best bet would be to limit the spiral search to only work at relatively lower speeds (maybe below 1 degree per second)?
cheers,
Robin
