I have a picture I recently took of the Helix Nebula. Using the Pinpoint Astrometry feature of MaximDL V5, I did a plate solve and saved the fits file with the astrometric information in the header. When I load the fits file into AstroArt, it correctly shows the RA, Dec, field of view, and orientation. But, when I load the image into CdC using the "Background Picture" feature, it loads and displays the picture in the correct place but it is mirrored vertically (i.e., the north edge is shown as the south edge and the south edge is at the north). How do I get it to show correctly?
