Dome control

We don't have options for manual moves. We figure if you're manually moving your gear then you're responsible for it being safe. We can't guard against everything and adding lots of options about when it's safe and not safe just isn't something we're interested in doing. Essentially if you move your gear you are responsible to make sure it's safe.

If you have certain areas where it is NOT safe to slew your mount I would highly recommend adding some sort of protection that doesn't allow your mount to be powered if your observatory is closed or (if the mount has the capability) forces it to be parked when the observatory is not open.

You can always create a wrapper around the telescope driver that also connects to your observatory and only relays commands to your scope when it is safe to do so. That would probably be the easiest to implement but also not as safe as a hardware implementation.

Thanks,
Jared
