Rob, as far as I can tell I have the same settings:
"SideOfPier" set to "Pointing (ASCOM)"
"Allow Auto Meridian Flip" is not checked
"Point Count" is "0"
Sync Data is cleared (although SGP enters new Sync Data when it performs the Sync just before the flip - this is what seems to be the problem)
User Interface is set to "Dialog Based".
In SGP use Auto Meridian Flip is set for the Telescope.
"Minutes Past Meridian to Flip" is set to 5.
Autocenter after Meridian Flip is ON.
Or am I missing something?
