AJ,

Sorry to hear the telescope troubles have given you stomach problems.  =
My favorite example of the "+ and -" longitude problem is on the popular =
heavens-above site, where users are asked to enter their latitude and =
longitude.  On a map that shows the geographical distribution of =
visitors is a nice mirror image of the United States in south-central =
Asia.
