Hi All, Noticed on my RAPAS that I got a few weeks ago that the illuminator Stalk is not straight out to the right side of the RAPAS like I have seen in pictures online. It is angled a few degrees

Robert, Yes, the hand controller can be swapped between mounts without a problem. The control boxes cannot. Did I misunderstand your question? I lost track. <G> Regards, George

Steve I use Cartes du Ciel (CdC) with my 1100 successfully. Here are some tips, once George gets you up and running smoothly. Once all the connections are made (ASCOM driver, COM ports, etc), I
