We would like to share an attachment that nominates the star / system that we have the telescope pointed at.
This is for conformational purposes, - Brisvegas has skies that are so light-drenched that it is sometimes very hard to use “dead reckoning” style navigation, and we are often not sure what we have found, especially if Stellarium is showing several formations in the same area.
(I don’t want Go-to navigation control, as I think they tend to minimise the learning process for newbies.)
So: does A-N provide what I think it does, and can it easily be swapped from scope to scope, or are there bits that aren’t shown in the web site: (photo shows unit plus mounting cage)
Secondly, does it have USB connections for upgrades, as my laptop doesn’t have the antique connection systems used by some skybound devices?
Any help appreciated.
Regards Rider.

I don't know the answer to your question...
I would encourage you to write via e-mail to Wild Card Innovation directly. I have found Gary to be very responsive to this style of communication...alternatively you could call them.
