I have just completed my dome setup and install. I am having an issue with the scope consistently pointing out the shutter. Sometimes it is perfect but other times the scope is not pointing out the shutter at all, It is close but hitting the wall of the dome near the shutter opening. I fiddle with the settings for the GEM such as offsets and such but any improvement is short lived. As there is a lot to change and cause this issue I was wondering if anyone had some troubleshooting ideas. Sometimes I feel like the dome thinks the scope is rotating the opposite way on the axis. Even if I point at Polaris it is usually off by enough to cause issues. If I home my mount(cgx has switches to find home) the dome at 0 degrees lines up with north but as soon as I track the scope it swings off of 0 in the wrong way. I am in TN and have my location set in all the software I can find thinking it could think i am in southern hemisphere etc.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I just spent a hour - well maybe 2 tweaking and I THINK I've got it.
