I want to use Carte du Ciel to control my Gemini. I first do a Gemini startup and confirm all coordinates using the GPS satellite attachment. So times & coordinates are correct pointing to Polaris. I set it as my home position with the Gemini and then connect the Carte du Ciel.?
Unfortunately when I ask the scope to slew it goes in the opposite direction.?
Any ideas how to correct?

Hi again Tony

before you reset your limits (your other post), I suggest you get this figured out.

I tried CDC and was able to connect but it also appeared it treated my losmandy backwards. I connected via stellarium and sky safari and they were fine, so it seems there's some setting in CDC.

I'm not sure why that is, but i would get this straightened out. it may fix your DEC coordinates/setting Limits question

Strange as CdC is all I ever use with Gemini Ii and have never had issues? No special configuration apart from setting location and time the same as Gemini (I set to UTC with no offset).

If you are using the Gemini virtual controller, you could try using the Rev RA and Rev Dec check boxes just below the 4 diamond touch pad. (Reverse RA and Dec)

Other than that, I've used Stellarium for probably 5 years now, with two different mounts. I use it as basically my Planetarium Program and slew the mount and telescope to the objects I find in it of interest.
One of my latest was a tiny Nebula called the Fossil Footprint Nebula, and a while back a relatively new Nebula that is estimated to be only 600 years old.

Hi Tony,

I have not had any issue using Cartes du Ceil though Stellarium is my go-to planetarium app. My CdC was last updated less than two weeks ago and seems to work fine.?

How are you interfaced to CdC? You need to have the ASCOM hub installed as well as Gemini.net for it to work.??
