Hi,
Regarding 4 and 5,
The hand controller can be upgraded using the upgrader program but recommend using a pc with a 9 pin serial port as some USB to Serial ports have trouble.
You don't really need to set the polar scope up for southern hemisphere, especially because the octans constellation is so dim, it's hard to line them up. Set the scope up using a compass and your true south adjustment, making sure to try and set the altitude of the Mount to suit your latitude, as the scale on the altitude setting is often wrong.
