If it's anything like the remote control for my TV, it is bound to get lost on the first night! You would hope the designers have some sort of alarmbell to track it down if it is mislaid.
I'm pretty happy with mine being attached to the scope. Less room for user loser!
Hope they have different frequencies or star parties will be fun!
then again how cool would it be having half a dozen LX200's dancing around the skies in unison
