Hi there,

Im getting used to asking stupid questions so here goes another one!:)
Im sure I will laugh about this later!

Can anyone tell me why Acrux and Peacock are appearing in the S/E quadrant of the alignment diagram when using Alignmaster (ver 1.6.37)?
The orientation of these stars should be in the S/W quadrant from where Im viewing ( melboune) . shouldnt they?
Its like the view of the alignment stars is reversed in the E/W when I compare to CdC and Starry nights.
Its not just those alignment stars its all of them. I can slew ok reasonalbly well using CdC in my n point alignment - Im not out by much and can fine tune this but Im trying to get Alignmaster sorted first then n point aligning but Im so far out its stops me dead in my tracks.

My Alignmaster time (UT and LMST match the CdC time clock) and location is correct.
Anyone got any ideas or have I other probs and I should ignore the graphic?

Many thanks

You are correct. This is a bug that was fixed but has re-emerged. Please let Matthias know and I will also so that he can implement a fix.
