I put Parallax rotating rings on my G11/Gemini Newtonian scope so I could view comfortably regardless of the orientation of the OTA. It works great. However, when I rotate the OTA, the image shifts. This really keeps the goto from working well, as its alignments are subject to seemingly random errors as I rotate the OTA to view the alignment objects.

Has anyone else fought this problem and come up with a reasonable solution?
