AZ GTI mount being a p”ll””k, again.

[Telescope40]

Hello all. AZ GTI mount in use again last nite. Been a couple of months. 
Alignment issues. Tried both 1 star align and North level align which has worked as planned before. 
Using Arcturus as start point - mount swings down to look at the lawn. 
The app seems to look like it’s updated ?  but I may well be wrong. 
Thinking of re naming it the AZ - GIT mount. 
Thorts from any owners.  May well buy a handset and forget the WiFi / phone / tablet option. FPS

Was the eyepiece pointing in the general direction of Arcturus ? I did this once only to realise I had the scope on the wrong way round.

Not really. Was wondering if there is a northern / Southern Hemisphere option. 
Thinking now it may have been on the “wrong side” as I’ve rotated the scope in its clamshell when using on my other mount. 
thanks   John

Typically, you either have the scope mounted 180* (back to front) or you have the EQ/AltAz firmware (right arm) version installed.

It is easy to get things the wrong way round insead of the right way as in this pic.
