No one answered this, so I'll do it myself, in case any other newbies are interested. It's a setting in the INDI mount setup window. You can select west pointing east or vice versa

Will give that a go tonight- second crack at the Crescent Nebula- last night it terminated early due to a crash!

Thanks Jerry. Where would I find Limited resources mode?

I don't routinely view each image as it comes in on the FITS viewer. Is that what you meant, or is there a 'deeper' way to disable it?

I'm running Kstars/Ekos on a Raspberry Pi3, together with Phd2. However, it crashes randomly, usually when guiding is running.

Any ideas? Is the Pi3 maybe not up to it?

I'm trying to image the Crescent Nebula, which in the UK crosses the meridian at about 2140 at the moment. Before that time Kstars GOTO putscthe camera to the west, pointing east, necessitating a meridian flip shortly after.

How can I force Kstars to GOTO in the opposite direction ( assuming I start before 2140) with a reversed Dec, so that no flip is needed?

In the Ekos mount control tab you can set an hour angle limit to prevent tripod collisions. It's simpler and more foolproof then a full meridian flip.

However, the maximum selectable value appears to be 2 hours and my setup is usually capable of about 4 hours over the meridian. Is there a configuration file somewhere, which allows that maximum value to be changed?

At the moment I'm using the timed autopark feature.
