Describe the bug
The Paramount driver does not appear to report the side of pier correctly. This does not appear to be a problem unless used with dome slaving, when side-of-pier becomes critical for determining the dome slit azimuth. I'm not sure how or where to get the data to support this bug, but I am 99% confident this is the problem, see below.

I will check to see if it's possible to replicate with the TSX virtual mount simulator and the dome simulator.

To Reproduce
Setup EKOS to run with a dome and a Paramount.
Slew to a point in the sky that is accessible from both sides of pier, usually this is with the weight up on the East side, facing the celestial equator.
The mount will slew and the dome will rotate, however the slit is 180 opposite where it should be.
If the "East" button is manually selected in the Dome Control Panel, the mount slews to where it should be ( I think I got the logic right, it may be the West button, I will have to double check if required.

Expected behavior
The dome azimuth should follow automatically - in order to do this, the TSX API will need to be queried for Pier Side - according to Ken Sturrock it can be done using the following commands;

sky6RASCOMTele.DoCommand(11, "");
sky6RASCOMTele.DoCommandOutput;

The return of 0 = pointing west, and return of 1 = pointing east.
