Thanks for the reply, I haven't had a chance to run it outside yet but the last few times I tested it out it seem to work ok.
Hopefully it was sorted by the encoder reset, I had tried this before but not the same way as described in the stellarmate forum link posted earlier in the thread.

There's a couple of things I thought could be to blame, about 2 weeks ago I was out at a dark site and had to manually enter the time into the pi4 as it wasn't connecting to my hotspot (my fault).
I doubt this is the problem as the next time I booted up at home it connected to my wifi and updated itself as I had run many sessions since then.
I'm thinking it was more likely I pressed the wrong button with the encoder purge / save under the INDI control when parking one night.

Ill take logs when flipping the next few times incase it happens again.
