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.

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
