I've always been a little anxious about the button on the joystick and how it, if pressed twice, would send the mount to the Home position. A couple of our members have accidentally pressed the button. And I've done it myself. Surprising and possibly dangerous.So, I turned off the "go to Home" on both the RA and Dec axis inside TheSky6's telescope options. Now the joystick button is dormant. Did some quick testing. I should do some some more next weekend...
It appears that I saved this setting "inside" the mount. To make the change permanent, that the joystick button would be dormant the next time one starts up the mount and software, I used an option in TheSky6 that was labelled "Save to Flash." Interesting. This lead me to believe that it adjusted the Paramount hardware as opposed to a setting in the software and only under my account. I think I've changed this for all operators!
I made a note to let the CAO supervisors know.
