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?

I have experienced this. From memory, it happened when the battery was on its way out. As suggested you need to go through all settings and double check battery voltage. From memory I had a weird disconnect between time zone and my actual latitude and longitude i.e. one went back to factory default and the other stayed as I entered it.
