Alignment is not lost after safety limit stop. You can use the HC buttons at centering or slew speeds to back the mount out of the safety limit stop. In Gemini.NET driver you can also ask the driver to do this for you, automatically. Set near the bottom of safety limit configuration screen:
I had a look in Gemini.net and two questions came up....
1. When I check the "nudge" checkbox, I get a warning that I am disabling the Gemini built in slew disabling mechanism and do I want to do that. Does that mean that when the box is checked, after the western safety limit is reached a slew to an object past the western safety limit will now slew PAST the western safety limit if that box is checked? Or is the western safety limit a hard limit and only slews to the east will function?
2. I note that the in the safety limit settings section of the Gemini.net driver, the western GOTO limit is described as "degrees from CWD". Is that actually how the western GOTO limit is set in the driver? I have always understood the western GOTO limit to be degrees EAST of the western safety limit.
