Kedar, That is by design. When you park your mount it saves the current focuser position in the eeprom.

NiNA, Meridian Flip, Coordinate System
If your equipment will allow, try increasing the minutes after meridian in NINA to a number >8. Flipping right at the meridian can be problematic.

The difference I see from my config and Hendrick's is he is using 5160_VQUIET and I am using 5160_QUIET. Could this make a difference? I can try V_QUIET (I thought I read somewhere it shouldn't be use

Do you plate solve in NINA? This is where I always see the error crop up. Standard goto has not been an issue for me and Howard fixed the issues with guiding/PhD. I can reproducibly make the tracking

Unfortunately this did not work. No issues during the initial slews or guiding. During the plate solving slews, the rate would speed up.

I made the change to config.h and checked the box in the driver. Unfortunately, it looks like I will be clouded in for the next few days.

Well Howard, I think 4.24m was a partial success. While it seems the guide rate may no longer be an issue (yay!), now the tracking rate is being set too high. After an initial slew in NINA, everything

Great news Howard. If the clouds cooperate I'll give it a go tonight. Thanks!

Update: I first had to press the proper guide rate (for me 0.5x) then tap the directional buttons. The it switched to the correct rate.
