Hello

We run an observatory with public visits, we have been using the skyfi module with skysafari along with the handset on an EQ8 mount for years now (tablet to goto and handset to make corrections when necessary). I would now like to pilot the EQ8 through the handset in PC-Direct mode, to keep the "correct with handset feature" (some of my "old school" colleagues insist on keeping this). However, when I make small corrections with the handset, tracking stops although ekos says it's still tracking (I checked motor status and the RA steps don't change). However, if I make another correction from ekos this time, tracking resumes ... Any idea whether it is an expected behaviour or not?

Thanks,
F.
