Potential Dome Slaving bug?

Hi there, I have an exploradome with fostersystems control for the dome.

In SGP there are several ways to operate the dome. I can slave the dome inside SGP or just opt to operate the shutters and parking.

When I am doing the latter, i.e. using SGP to only control parking/unparking and shutter behavior, I use AstroMC from fostersystems to perform the slaving and track.

In this situation, at the end of the sequence if I ask SGP to park the dome and close the shutters, it faithfully does so by sending the appropriate ASCOM commands, but one step that seems to be missing is to issue an ASCOM command to AstroMC to turn off slaving after the park. Without this, after park, since slaving is still active inside AstroMC it just comes back to where the telescope is parked.

If slaving was performed inside SGP, I can see how this is not a problem, since SGP is not longer issuing move commands post park.

Does this sound like a bug? I am of course postulating based on black box observations.

Thanks!
Manoj
