Yes, that would make some sense. Although seeing was such that I could not make out either constellation, The scale of the distance from NCP to Polaris in the polar scope reticle does not seem to fit with the scale of NCP to the constellations when comparing to the Sky Safari.
This also checked out when I fired the mount up in daylight this morning about 03:00 UTC. After initialisation, Synscan reported Polaris to be at 01:40. Reading the manual this means one should rotate the RA until the dot for Polaris is at the 01:40 position viewed through the polar scope.
Compared to the position shown on SkySafari this was about 180 degrees out from visual. Hence with the reversal through the scope, things would add up.
Thanks all for your input. Brian
