 Always pay attention to the AZ you are slewing from or to, to avoid passing the sensors incorrectly and dealing with scopes getting stuck near 90° or 270°.
+__Az Limit Switch Near 0º:__
 There are two sensors negative and positive near AZ 0.

-If you don't pay attention and only hit one sensor at AZ 0, some or all telescopes will continue to stall near 90 or 270 degrees and it is a pain to fix.
+If you don't pay attention and only hit one sensor at AZ 0, some or all telescopes will continue to stall near 90 or 270 degrees and it is a pain to fix. Will have to trip the limit switch at the telescope.
+__TCS Az limit beyond -90 and 450º: __
+On the telescope server, keep an eye on the TCS az to not go beyond -90º and 450º. If you are getting close, telescopes will have to go the other way around to avoid hitting the limit.
