Sound to me like it thinks it's alignment stars are in the Southern Hemisphere.
Go to celestron's site and look for the manual. I'm sure there is a setting buried in the menu somewhere.

Hi, I am trying to help a fellow down here in St. George with a telescope problem. I am a meade guy and he has a celestron telescope.
We can not get the telescope to align, so it can be used as a goto. We get the telescope set up and pointing north and start the align process. The telescope chooses stars that I have never heard of and points down below the horizon to align.
We have put all the proper information into the telescope about where we are time and date etc.
Any Ideas?
Telescope is: Celestron Schmidt/Cas Mount: Celestron Advanced VX Computerized German Equatorial Mount Mark _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy
