--- Comment #14 from mountainai...@outlook.com ---
Jasem, I take that back.  I got the scope out again last night, and the first
thing I did was open the mount control pad and slew in RA.  The values didn't
change.  But when I slewed in DEC, suddenly the values changed in RA, too.  I
couldn't trigger it again.  I don't know what this means.

I will check the handset values the next time I'm out, but I've never noticed
that not changing.  I can also try another hand controller, on the off chance
there's something going on with StarSense.

One other thing (sorry for piling on the observations):  In the PA tool, when
it works perfectly it does seem to slew 30 degrees (twice).  Then there are
times where it still works, but it slews *almost* to the limits (even with RA
changing).  It's strange.  110-120° instead of the expected 60.

PLEASE READ:  This is probably a separate issue, but it might be related.  All
of a sudden last night Ekos started acting very laggy (spinning MacOS beachball
almost anytime I click on anything).  In the PA tool, when I clicked start it
would wait almost a minute before taking the first photo.  The same thing would
happen with subsequent images.  The focus module was unusable.  I gracefully
quit the application and re-launched; same.  I rebooted the Mac (connected to
RPi); same.  Rebooted the RPi; same.  It did not happen when I VNC'd into the
Pi.  The reason I mention this is because if it hung right after I clicked the
slew button, it might explain why RA didn't update and then it suddenly update
later. Maybe the DEC trigger was just a timing coincidence.  I wonder about
this regarding the PA issue above, too.  If it occasionally hangs after it
sends the slew command, it might power past its 30 degrees.  

This is a 16GB MacBook Pro with 2.3 gHz quad-core i7, and nothing else running.
 I don't think the machine was resource-constrained.
