Mat from Software Bisque is saying that the camera I'm using does not support reversing the y axis, but surely it's the software that would do the reversing. Calibration is only camera angle and how far the star will move in arc sec for a given relay pulse.
Also I have a pendulum set up on RA axis so I am always east heavy.
David I'm pretty sure with ccdap you don't need to tell the mount what side the scope is on, but I could be wrong.

PhDguiding V2 automatically flips the calibration data and corrects for dec differences after a meridian flip or going to a new object. No need to recalibrate and I've found that retrieving a previous nights calibration data and setting guiding going it will find a guide star and start guiding. Also after a meridian flip it will re-acquire a guide star and initiate guiding.
