I've been waiting for some clear skies for weeks, so spending time reading forum  posts and trying to anticipate.  My new RedCat 71 has a integrated tilt adjuster and so does the new ASI2600MC Duo.  If I find significant tilt checking with NINA Hocus Focus or SharpCap Pro - how can I determine if it's the scope or camera?  I don't have another refractor or camera to swap.  I do have a C8 Edge but that may have its own issues.  Is there a process how to start breaking down where the tilt is being introduced from OTA down to the camera sensor?

The ZWO site has a good article explaining how to check for tilt. If the tilt is in the imaging train you want to adjust it there. If you adjust the camera but then move the camera to another scope, that scope will be impacted.

Thanks, found the article.  Fortunately, my RedCat has a rotator so should be able to tell if sensor or train.

Yup. Been there, done that with mine.
