"Isnt that the recommended method (by Meade) to stop the scope from
moving during a slew?"

So far as I know there isnt a built in panic stop once the "Go To" has
engaged. This was confirmed in a conversation with Mr. Piper some time
ago. Id be interested if there is one available from the keypad.
Ive mounted an accessible switch on the side of the wedge, using the
switch on the bass normally.
