I have been babysitting meridian flips. When the routine starts checking the alignment I press stop until it stops. I then load a reference image for my target and hit "Load and Slew". This works well but is something I don't feel like I should need to do. Part of the reason I do this is I have seen the target name change sometimes after flipping. I don't care what the target name is, I just want to preserve my framing.

Last night I let the alignment proceed and captured about 12 of the 20 OIII subs on the Rosette Nebula. I have attached a screenshot of the integration (autostretched) as an example of the misalignment of subs before and after the meridian flip.
