Does the eyepiece rotate independently from the finderscope tube?.

Hello, It does but don't rotate it too far as it will start to unscrew! I use this on two of my telescopes and you can rotate the eyepiece for a more comfortable view as long as you are careful.

I believe that it does from the articles I have read on Celestron's website. You will still have to do the alignment process first I am certain. However I would suggest that you verify whether or not the Sky'Q software allows you to do the scope alignment process before you buy. I don't currently own any Apple products so I have yet to test it's capabilities.

yes, it rotates without having to loosen the fitting. I hold the fitting when I turn it just to make sure it does not loosen by accident.

Great appliance. Don't forget to rotate the diopter on the eyepiece. Pricey, but worthwhile if you are auto focussing down low.

Yes. You have to align the telescope by using the finder scope to center on 3 stars first. Then, anything you pick on the remote will make the telescope automatically move to the object and, more importantly, track said object.

Yes. According to the online manual for your telescope it takes the standard 1.25" eye piece.

There is a tiny set screw underneath where the barrel meets the eyepiece. Loosen that and you can swap them.

It screws onto the eyepiece, not the main tube. It should work on any 1.25 inch threaded eyepiece.

Mine rotates to some extent [more like a pivot?]. It's nice to be able to shift the beam on trails when someone is walking towards me so I'm not blinding them.

Yes, the eye piece is able to rotated for either eye or when shooting landscape or portrait.

You can easily slew manually. Just 'make sure' you slightly loosen the altitude lock (on the right side) and the base lock (bottom center) before manually moving the tube. Otherwise, you will strip the gears that move the scope in goto mode!

Yes it is, I find it very comfortable to use. Why they don't put right angle finders on Scopes as a regular feature I have no idea. I cant live without mine.

There is no locking mechanism on the telescope, but it is designed such that it takes a little bit of force to get it to move. I can usually swap lenses without losing my positioning, and if I do lose it, the finder scope works so well that you can easily re-position in seconds!

Yes - there's a small dial on the LHS of the viewfinder when you pull it out. It does seem to slip at times so you do need to readjust but it works OK.

No. This scope is meant to be moved electrically. My rechargeable batteries last a long time, so it shouldn't be a problem. With the red dot viewfinder its easy to use the hand controller to manually point the telescope where you want it to go.

Huh? They do rotate horizontally independently of each other. BUT the slot in the riser tube only allows about 20 degrees of rotation without modification. The do NOT rotate independently of each other vertically. Though there is vertical rotation allowed it is together and I ran into a problem with the auto-shut-off if they are rotated vertically to far up or down from level.

Yes, there is a diopter adjustment (very small) dial just to the left of the view finder.
