I'm trying to image the Crescent Nebula, which in the UK crosses the meridian at about 2140 at the moment. Before that time Kstars GOTO putscthe camera to the west, pointing east, necessitating a meridian flip shortly after.

How can I force Kstars to GOTO in the opposite direction ( assuming I start before 2140) with a reversed Dec, so that no flip is needed?

No one answered this, so I'll do it myself, in case any other newbies are interested. It's a setting in the INDI mount setup window. You can select west pointing east or vice versa
