Glen it is set to E 151d 10' and S 33d 46' elevation 100m and time zone GMT+10h.
We both have used Synscans many time before and checked this several times tonight, which is why both of use were frankly shocked.
Something else I am puzzled by is that it only offers just 3 stars at each point in the alignment sequence, mostly hopelessly low elevation. We were lucky to be at a site with pretty good horizons otherwise it would simply have been a no-go, period.
Previous experience with Synscan handsets is that you get a fair selection of bright stars to choose from.
I'm also wondering if I can get SkySafari to communicate with the mount directly and ditch the Synscan handset.
