It might be a good idea to get some tube rings for that scope and take the dovetail bar off the scope and connect it to the tube rings and block up the holes in the scope sides. You can then spin the scope the right way round and put the finderscope back on. It would also look better aesthetically, just a thought.

Thank you, well explained

If I am aligning the scope with the intent to do lunar imaging, do you recommend aligning with an eyepiece first, then attaching the planetary camera after the target (the moon) has been centered in the eyepiece? Thank you for your reply.

Could you also make a short follow up, on how to use the point an track function. For now, it does not work for me.

Is it possible to switch az-gti mount home position 180 degrees? Red dot finder is located in the lower part of my scope and it’s pain to use. If I turn it 180 and aim to north, the app thinks the rear of the scope is the front and facing north.
