I am using a Paramount ME mount with The Sky X Pro software. Recently I was observing the moon with my C-14 and found I had to adjust the with the paddle to better center the moon. All seemed to be good and the tracking was perfect. I wanted to move the scope to a different part of the moon and had to manually guide the mount to the different location. The mount seemed to respond for a few seconds. It then tracked way off the object, shut down and disconnected.
I re-established connection but had to re-home the telescope before I could re-connect. I did this several times with the same result.
I then discovered I had gone over the viewing limits (operator error - not by much but I did cross the line). I was surprised the mount would acquire the object and track perfectly until I tried a second paddle input.
Is this to be expected given I had crossed the line a minimum amount?
I posed this question on the other site and got no feedback on this problem.
Thanks in advance for any help.
