Understood, but I've had it disabled for several months with no issues. We were able to verify through the log that the mount was sending erroneous data. I contacted Sky-Watcher and they said that they didn't think anyone used that data and don't test it! They indicated that they use Software Bisque, which doesn't use it. I was pretty surprise by the response. However, if you think about it... if you start from the parked position (even without alignment), then you won't be off by much. Additionally, once aligned, EKOS knows exactly where you are pointed.

Good luck!
