Describe the bug A clear and concise description of what the bug is. Short Summary of the expected behavior: When tracking, I expected the stepper motor to have control of the RA axis. Short Summary of the buggy behavior: During real night photography the RA axis turned unexpectedly under the weight of the camera. The tracking LED was on but the RA axis turned with little or no electronic resistance. The pull out torque was not enough to prevent the camera from rotating the RA axis.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. It may have happened after I paused tracking with the button.

Expected behavior A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen. I expected the stepper motor to always have enough torque to hold the camera in any orientation.
