Yes. The log shows exactly what has happened.
The mount went off limits (below horizon), hit the tripod. I noticed that the mount stopped slewing (while being away from the mount and just watching ekos/kstars), so I tried to stop and park it.

Anyway, it was just a strange glitch.
Tonight, I braved-up and let the system do the auto-flip (after several nights of doing it manually). It went normally.
Same setup. No updates.
Go figure...

Thanks!
