Setting Mount Limits

I am looking to see if I can set mount limits for my fork mounted LX200. There are some limits that
can be set in the hand controller, but none of them apply for sideral tracking. I noticed there is a feature in Voyager that you can turn off tracking if the shutter closes. That might be useful when I finish the dome automation.

I was looking for some thing a little more elegant than that and thought that Voyager would have a built
in routine for this. If I have missed it please let me know.

You cannot set limit of mount in Voyager. You can set limit of altitude for target pointing.
This is a task usually done by mount driver.

Relate mount track disable with shutter status is something not reliable for Voyager, we have an option to disable mount goto using an I/O input.

Here the setting Not Allow MOUNT SLEW if Digital INPUT:

Otherwise you can check before start a sequence (avoid running it) using DragScript if you trust shutter status:

Use DO IF DOME/ROOF OPEN and/or DO IF DOME/ROOF CLOSE

All the best
