This the link to the log from last night when my 10U mount failed to flip.

Not sure whether the failure to open the new beta caused a problem with auto-meridian flipping or if this is something new. See about 11:20pm:

For 10U mounts you need to flip before the meridian (previous threads on this) and I have not changed my settings. Hence at a meridian flip, won't the telescope always be moving from west side to west side, ie same side to same side?
Was this a result of the corruption of the 'user.config' file as a result of the faulty upgrade? Or something else? Or no way of knowing?
Thanks,
Barry
