I have version 3.0c.1 and have just noticed that at my latitude 41.59S and 174.59E when I use the telescope to look at the moon the moon is reversed left to right i.e at present when I look out the windwo there is half a moon but the dark side is to my right. In the telescope on Distant Suns the dark side is to the left. Anyone got a version that corrects this? Not that it is all too important. I love the programme. Anyone have Mikes e-mail as I have a lockup after a repeatable sequence of commands.

I am at work so I don't have access to my copy, BUT most astronomical telescopes reverse the image. I think newtonians flip the image as well.
