Yes, mine is also off when I startup. But also, I noticed both yours and mine show the home positions as -100H
(HA) and -100 degrees (DEC). Does that mean the AE function needs to be initialized or calibrated? Also, seems
like those numbers are a bit extreme and should be limit checked in the software to something like +/- 6 hours for
HA and 0 degrees for DEC.

Those are the default uninitialized values which just weren't getting updated. The new builds, 1.8.0.4 and .5, fix this.
