At the weekend I had a night of opportunity of clear skies, I had a lot 
of issues that night, but was running a self compiled INDI, 
INDI-3rdParty and Kstars from Git for my equipment on my Raspberry Pi 
Astroberry.

Once I got over most of the issues I set off the scheduler and found 
that I couldn't complete guiding calibration either on my Celestron CGX. 
It failed at the DEC Reverse... stage.

So perhaps not a problem with the Mac, but a problem with the CGX driver?
