Dear Ken
After some thoughts, I would suggest to include, in the SGP aborting sequence, the option to
switch off the equipment (in this case the mount) via ASCOM switches, that are used by power boxes (eg Pegasus), at the end of the sequence. This would add a fail proof option to any failure, including disconnects from the PC/ASCOM driver to the mount.
If this happens, (as in my case), EQMOD is no longer connected to the mount, so the mount continues to track the source (in the worst case crashing on the pier) . This would have happened even if I had set the mount limits in EQMOD or SGP aborted the sequence. In addition, such an implementation would provide the option to physically switch off all equipment powered by power boxes compliant with ASCOM switches.
