 *'''Wait Time After Rotator FInished Move''':  Check the box and enter the delay time in seconds if your rotator requires Voyager to delay the next action after the rotator move finishes. This can be helpful if your rotator returns from the "Move" command before it actually finishes the rotation, or if a delay is required after the move completes to allow vibrations to settle down. Some rotator drivers report rotation is finished before the rotator has actually stopped.  This can cause elongated stars if the next exposure starts immediately
 *'''Reverse:''' activate the reverse calculation of rotation, useful if during Sky PA point the calculate angle not converge to the sky PA requested. This flag can be applied if your driver support the reverse ASCOM option. Changing to this flag need to disconnect and reconnect the setup in Voyager to apply the change.
