Dome control issues

[InFINNity-Deck]

Tonight I had a successful run with NINA 1.11 Nightly #135, but found one major and two minor issues:

• some 7-8 minutes before meridian flip, the dome already turned 180 degrees as a result of which the scope was collecting data from the dome’s interior for that period of time. Footage is here (issue shows at 1:46 in the video): https://youtu.be/xZiJR3gAct4
• I had Find Home Before Parking enabled, but despite that the dome parked in the direction of the scopes, which is 90 degrees off.
• Hitting the Find Home button in the Equipment->Dome set-up page did move the dome to the right location, but did not disable the Dome Follows Telescope switch, as a result of which it immediately returned to the direction of the scopes.

thanks for looking into this,

I have added the log-file. You will also notice the abundance of shutter errors. My dome has no automatic shutter, so no electronics is implemented for that. The dome uses LesveDomeNet.

The shutter errors happen because this driver throws an error when getting shutter status, which is allowed per the ASCOM specification. The Nexdome driver returns ShutterNone instead.

I’ve submitted a PR addressing this issue as well as the 3rd bullet point above here: https://bitbucket.org/Isbeorn/nina/pull-requests/1065/disable-dome-following-during-findhome

The other issues are related to excessive movement when the scope is pointed near zenith. I have a fix in mind for that but it is a bit more involved. I’ll submit it separately

Should be resolved with the latest improvements.
