Scope location pointing North in Stelllarium when all inputted locations are South
Hi,
Thanks for the reply, I have managed to slew the mount now but have another problem. I set the Stellarium and ASCOM location to my Southern Hemisphere location but when I point the HEQ5 towards the direction of Octans (with the 'N' pointing South) it shows the scope position in Stellarium as pointing North. I set it to the Home position before I open EQMOD. With the hand control I set it previously to a Northern Hemisphere location before I subsequently set it to a Southern Hemisphere one with EQMOD. Could this have caused this problem and does anyone have any advice on how to fix this? I read that I can reset the encoders but I don't know if this would be recommended. Should I be doing this? When I looked it up online photos seemed to show that the tightening screws for the Dec plate should be on the left of the mount when behind it. Is this right?
Thanks,
