Telescope control plugin does not show telescope with negative dec.

[umlafre]

Hi there, I am trying to build up a subset the LX200 protocol on an Arduino, so it is possible that I am at fault here, as I am not at all experienced with working with telescope control. Essentially, I am able to use the Telescope Control plugin to move the telescope wherever I would like (for now, no telescope is attached, so the responses to getting RA and dec are just immediately what I set it to). However, when I move the telescope to an object with a negative dec, Stellarium presents the telescope as having a dec of 0, with the correct RA.

What confuses me is that, looking at the log_TelescopeServer1.txt file, it looks like my program is sending coordinates that are being correctly parsed by the plugin:

...

...

Thanks very much for your help.
