Definitely on south and west Brendan, but checked again anyway.

Anyway i figured that the little do-hicky (square pin)that sits atop of the tripod and aligns the base of the mount to the base of the tripod was in the northern hemisphere posi! So I swapped it around and presto! All fixed.
Hope that helps....

I reckon you are on the right track Bart, and have just raced out to scope to check for the little nut thingo that connects mount to tripod, but cant seem to find anything noting southern hemisphere?? Bugger.
Might be something in handset too, cos I reckon thats where it thinks I am.
Went through all the details of the setup again, and again ...... pressed the utility function on the handset, as tells you what you location is, and it has me at +70!!! Help, get me outa N.Hem.
