    Hi guys,
    I just bought the OAG StarChaser SC-2 to connect to my STF8300 + FW5-8300. It looks like the SC-2 can only connect to the FW5-8300 at 45 deg. Is this right? It looks so odd! (I checked the photos of the FW8-8300 and the mounting holes look to be the same orientation as the FW5-8300).

    If it is, is there an adapter plate that will allow the SC-2 to connect it to the FW5-8300 so that the the FW5-8300 and SC-2 line up like that shown in the manual like this:

    Thanks!

    On Monday, we'll see what the best solution is for you.
    Can you provide the serial number of the FW5-8300 and SC-2, and let us know when/where you bought the SC-2?
    You can send me a Private Message if you prefer.
