[Feature Request] Support For Rainbow Astro RST-135

Hi,
Any idea when the Rainbow Astro WiFi communication and mount protocol will be supported in Sky Safari 6 Pro?  The LX200 Classic protocol that we have to use now with RST-135 mounts just isn't reliable for me in my setup with this mount.  It gets "lost" in its alignment constantly when doing GoTo's and it looks like it can't Align pointing star offsets into a pointing model either.

Let me know if you need someone to help test any beta versions of this RST-135 support in future releases and I would be glad to help.

Thanks,
Wade

    I support this request. I have used Sky Safari with great success until my new RST-135 arrived. There appears to be no way to use Sky Safari with this mount if you have an ASIAIR connected via WiFi and therefore are using the Rainbow Astro protocol on both mount and ASIAIR.  Sure, I can connect Sky Safari directly to the mount using LX200 Classic protocol but then I can't use ASIAIR. Unless Sky Safari can be applied using the Rainbow Astro protocol, I'll be forced to abandon Sky Safari, which would be a shame.
