    I gave up with my Xbox wireless controller, the dongle was less than 4' away, with a short usb lead plugged straight into its own usb socket on the back of the pc, kept dropping out, it was new of Amazon....not tried a wired one use the guide scope phd screen and a telrad now plus eqmod, and Atik CCD screen for aligning....

    While its a bit late since you have poured the concrete, 4 pieces of studding attached to a piece of plywood then inserted in the concrete would save the chemical anchors, the studding spaced to fit the base of your pier, nuts and washers would them allow adjustment to get the pier upright....

    Does the Field Flattener require a precise distance to the CCD Sensor...???, the large blob as said is a out of focus star, the out of focus distance won't be huge.
