If so, you may be able to tell me why TheSkyX Pro (latest daily build
running on the latest El Capitan) reports that the OTA is on the east
side of the mount immediately after resuming from Park 1, when the OTA
is most definitely on the west side of the mount. I don't know if it's
the mount reporting its position improperly or the TheSkyX being
confused. I suspect the latter, as GOTO works from the A-P
keypad--indicating that the A-P knows where it is. But that doesn't
necessarily mean that it is properly reporting what it knows to
TheSkyX.

Thanks!

Park 1 is at the Meridian pointing to the Northern Horizon. The moment that you start the mount tracking, it will track past the meridian and the telescope will indeed be on the east side of the meridian. Yes, it's on the west side physically, but the tube assembly is now underneath the mount (counterweights are slightly above), and the optics will be pointing to the eastern portion of the horizon.
