When Ekos comes up and connects to the scope, it shows it pointing basically at Polaris.

I told the scope to "Park" - it slewed where ever it was going, and when it stopped, I clicked "Current" and "Write Data". I've loosened the clutchs and realigned to the index marks. This should now be the park position.

But if I then right-clicked on Polaris and tell the mount to Goto and set park position, the mount slews quite a distance away.

I've tried power-cycling between tests, and it doesn't seem to make a difference.

FWIW, right now, it shows Pier side - West pointing East, but it still moves the wrong direction.

Surely this is some flaw in my powerup sequence? I need to purge data, write data, power cycle, etc. but in the right order?
