Cartes du Ciel

Last night with so much moon I thought to image Eta Carinae Nebula.
My go to is from Cartes du Ciel on my laptop. So find (binoculars,deep sky common name, type in the search object, It promply puts the found position in the north west sky,insstead of the south east where it should go.

So I just used the setting values in Sitech servo controller 11 to slew to the target with the hand pad.
All good.
I just did the same search in CDC on my desktop with the same result. Stellarium places it correctly.
Has anyone else experienced this with CDC?
Chris

Chris,
I'm running CdC V4.1.1
Entering "eta car" in the Deep sky common name brings it up correctly.....

CdC

Thanks Ken,
That did the job.
This version is different in th target selection area altogether and many icon changes.
I will keep both versions or a while.
Cheers
Chris
