APT has Meridian Flip control built into it. You need to activate it. That will prevent your issue.

Eric, You can do a lot with 5 minutes at 300mm - that's great! Thanks! No, it's faster than that. Mine's a 102/621mm. I started out with a 50/200mm guide scope, and on Jerry's advice went to a 60/280m
