Change right-Left button to move vertically and Up/down buttons to move horizontally : is it possible ?


 

Dear all,
The light path on my dob is a little special as my secondary is tilted more than 45¡ã to send light toward the bottom of scope (because it is a 36"). I had a 90¡ã diagonal just before eyepiece and I changed it recently to a 120¡ã diagonal to have a better eye position. See picture below.
With the 90¡ã diagonal the Right/Left button was not horizontal but tited. Same for Up/down.
Now with the 120¡ã diagonal, I have noticed that the R/L buttons move the stars up/down and that the up/down move the stars right/left. So not easy for the brain to manage...!
I know you can reverse R and L or U and D, but is there a possibility to convert the R/L button to U/D movement and U/D to R/L ?
If not, I will have to hold the handpad rotated 90¡ã. Not a big deal, but If the function exist to convert horizontal button to vertical movement, I would prefer...
Note that the servocat is guiding correctly, I believe -without being sure- that it's my light path that generate this problem.
Thanks for feedback

Raphael,

No - sorry. That functionality isn't in there and would not have been considered since, now decades later, you're the only one to have asked for and shown a need for it. It would have been confusing to others that would have inevitably tried it?:? )
