Losmandy G11 slewing the wrong way.

Hey all,

Just trying to get all the computer nonsense out of the way before I get out under clear skies, and I've run into an interesting one...

When I connect to my G11 from the computer, Stellarium shows the reticule pointing at the SCP, The mounts location and time were sent to the mount via GeminiTelescope.NET ascom driver.

The planetarium and Gemini controller both think the telescope is in the same location, and time zone.

When I pick a star in the east and tell the scope to slew there, the mount goes to the exact location of where it should be, but in the western sky.

its like its somehow mirrored? its very strange.

When the slew occurs, the reticule in stellarium is moving from the SCP, out to the east to a declination of 0, but the mount is heading west.

Anyone experienced this before?

Alex.
