I just installed v 2.6.0.24, excitedly hoping that the change: “Any park command issued through SGPro will now be followed by a stop tracking command.” would fix the dome rotation issue. Unfortunately there is no difference and the problem persists. Perhaps this version didn’t address that issue? Anyway, here is the SGP log file just in case it might be useful:
Looking in the log file, there is an error when it tries to stop the tracking:

Good luck Ken & Jared and I have my fingers crossed for a solution to arrive in the fullness of time!

P.S. SGP totally rocks!
