Mozzie in the scope sounds bad !
I should imagine your Aussie Mozzies resemble small birds to !
We have had sooo much rain here I think I am going to need a small boat of some description just to get to my gear at the moment !
I will post an update later to clear up the -position issue. That is a problem that has been lurking in the wings since day one I think. My client & I suspect MaxIm clearly trap -position. Although it only makes sense to transfer positive values the ASCOM API uses an type INT so it's perfectly possible to transfer negative values across the API ..... as you have just discovered. Whenever a new (to the driver) client comes along such as SGP there are always little oddities that need ironing out.
Will drop a post when fixed.
Cheers,
Dave
