I have also responded to Daniels post. Refer below:
"Hi Daniel
I must respectfully disagree with you and concur with Peter. East and West do not change but left and right do depending upon you personal orientation to an object such as the PMX. In the southern hemisphere standing on the northen side of the mount facing south, the left knob is on the eastern side. Standing on the southern side facing north the left knob is now the one on the western side.
Given that everyone adjusts the mount's azimuth from the instrument panel side (wherethe arrow marks on the knob housing are) facing the relavant celestial pole, the change in the output for the polar alignment report to refer to left and righ knobs as opposed to east and west now appears to be sending people in the southern hemisphere in the completely wrong direction when adjusting azimuth.
Cheers
Mark"
