Not new News, cant find it reported elsewhere, but there is a small update to synscan available on the Skywatcher site

=================================== ============================

1. Fix the bug existed in the Time Zone Setting—Problem: Unable to save the data entered by using the scroll-down key. Result: Now the user is able to enter the data by pressing either the scroll-down and scroll-up key.

2. Fix the bug existed in the PAE Function—Problem: Incorrect data calculation occurred when the RA axis of the telescope (AX2) was pointed at a negative angle. Solution: Now the PAE functions properly when the RA axis (AZ2) is pointed at a negative angle.

The second one is probably the most important fix, and may explain a couple of earlier threads where PAE was not providing great results.
