  We study the orientation dependence of the reconstructed deceleration
parameter as a function of redshift. We use the Union 2 and Loss datasets, by
using the well known preferred axis discussed in the literature, finding the
best fit reconstructed deceleration parameter. We found that a low redshift
transition of the reconstructed $q(z)$ is clearly absent in one direction and
amazingly sharp in the opposite one. We discuss the possibility that such a
behavior can be associated with large scale structures affecting the data.
