Polar Align Reversed Directions

Hi Robin:
Saw your comment on the blog, and also one of your comments on CN on the subject of some of us having up/down - left/right reversed during the procedure, as in moving the polar axis up/down changes the left/right numbers.
That's what happened to me, and once I understood the problem, it didn't hurt the anything.
My setup is a simple one...QHY5L-II directly into a 50mm guide scope.
Again, once I knew what to do it was easy to get the star where it needed to be despite the reversal.
