For some reason the solver tends to get into a state when it can't quite center the object, where it tries as fast as it can to capture, move the mount, and solve. It often captures before the mount has stopped moving. The result is the attached screen. It often gets caught in a loop, where it captured before it stopped moving, and you get a blurry image, that it then tries to solve. It then thinks you're way off target, and moves, captures, etc with continual bad captures. Every once in a while it will capture when the mount has stopped moving, and it will correct itself.

Seems like it needs a slight delay introduced so that it has time to settle. How would I do this? I didn't see anything that was obvious in any of the settings.

It's "settle" but it wasn't work quite right in 2.9.8. Wait for MacOS 3.0.0 Beta release soon.
