How do you emergency stop the slew?

How do you emergency stop the slew?

If you have it available, there is an ASCOM abort command in my apps. Otherwise it is the power switch :frowning:

where would I find it in ASCOM ? thanks

OK,… ASCOM has many mount instructions. One of those is Abort.Slew().

Some applications have an Abort button, which sends this command. I cannot find it in NINA, but Cartes du Ciel has it on its Telescope interface. C2A has a stop button on its virtual hand controller. TheSkyX also has an abort button (but it does not implement homing, which is a PITA).
I wrote my own little application that does things like homing, parking and settings through ASCOM. I popped in an abort button.

Thanks, I don’t use Nina only Cartes du Ciel so that will work fine. Now hopefully my pier ext. will be delivered today.
