Hi Gary

By rotating the DMK31AF04 from the start position through 90, 180 and 270 degrees I was able to make Sirius leave the right of the field, the bottom, left and top of the field.

I figured this was due to how the software reads out the data on the chip, one row at a time?

I’ll have to check at the ‘scope again, but from memory, with the DMK label on the face on LHS of the OTA, this is how my FOV is oriented when I move a star using the motor movement keys.
