AM5 not able to correct RA periodic error even with aggressive phd2 settings

@ASIMount@ZWO#60197 thank you for the new firmware fix. It's working for me now.

One remaining bug is related to the AM5 firmware in which it will not allow to rotate past Meridian. For Nina users like us, we really would like the mount to be allowed to rotate for up to 30 minutes past Meridian for optimized acquisition planning.

Not only for NINA users... I strongly support this request!
It should at least be possible to finish an exposure ( up to 20 min when using
narrow band filter) on the other side of the meridian!
A more sophisticated solution would even allow me to start imaging
up to 2 hours BEFORE the meridian in the "wrong" orientation of
the mount, so that no merifian flip is necessary at all.
With shorter scopes (and a pier extension) this is easily possible,
depending on the declination of the object.
The "Green Swamp Server" (for mounts of another brand) is showing
how to do that.

kaiyung We are working on this feature, still need to run more test.
