I have an interesting observation I made when trying to polar align my DDM60 mount in Namibia (southern hemisphere): Following the usual approach (Sequence take some points, then solve, and do the "Move star Now" to center the selected star with the mechanical dials of the mount) I noticed that I was somewhat moving the star in the exact wrong direction. It was like when recentering the star and doing a new pointing run the Polar Alignment error was doubled as compared to before. Am I doing something wrong?
Maybe other users from the southern hemisphere can comment? Also, I seem to have issues getting the AutoPoint function to work properly within Sequence.

Hi guys,

Best regards
