You can simply verify it by manually slewing the mount in RA to the counterweight up position (past meridian). At 5 degrees past the meridian the mount will stop responding to a west button move, boun

Control of the CP4 with a JoyStick via ASCOM?
That would be any software that produces the ASCOM command to move a telescope at the chosen rate and chosen direction. I don't know if that software exists. If it does, then indeed it can move not on

I use MaximDL and I check the reverse on flip box. Maxim DL works thru the Ascom driver and thus knows when the mount is flipped to the other side. Therefore Maxim will actively change the guide comma

That is definitely a wrong approach. If the mount runs away in Dec it's because the guide pulses are in the wrong direction and need to be reversed. It's fundamental Of course it will guide ok for a f
