Random slew after plate solve

I have had SGP for over a year now and it mostly works flawlessly. I have had 2 separate times where I would input plate solve coordinates from astrobin and my own images of the target I want to image and would get a populated image location along with the verifying pop up. I would start the sequence and the software and mount will do its thing and when it moves to the location to take its first image to verify its on the target it will download and be right in the center but not within the exact 50px error I have it set to. So normally this is when the mount should attempt to re center it to my settings of 50px but when I can clearly see the first plate solve image and the target in the FOV, the mount will randomly slew to some off the chart location anywhere but specified and wants to slew the scope into the tripod. I have no clue what to even do, I have tried to reset the mount to factory settings, upgrade SGP to the current software version (no beta version). The funny thing is it has only happened to these 2 targets only (so far) The horsehead nebula, and M8 the lagoon nebula. I have used these features for over a year with no problem and its always right on so I don't know whats wrong. I can plate solve a different image before and after those 2 targets and it does exactly what it should every time. What are some of your thoughts? I will add Ken the awesome guy he is set up my software at a local star party and I haven't touched any settings since. Thanks, Justin
