I have simulated being in the north and southern hemispheres and choosing west and east and the mount always slews in the wrong direction, so the issues does not seem to be which hemisphere the mount is in.
I also toggled the mount reverse options in the "mount control" dialog but this has no effect.
Below are the lo files for the simulations and an extract form the error.
And help would be appreciated.
