I have no experience with the Orion rotator, however I have installed a reed
switch on a prop pitch motor and it was pretty easy. I left a .060" gap and it
worked fine. I do not think that the spacing is that critical, you just want
to
ensure that it doesn't collide with the magnet and that it is not too far to
activate.

I have replaced the magnetic reed switch in the OR 2800. It is important to get
the right spacing between the reed switch and the motor. I forget exactly what
it should be, but the M2 technical support people were very helpful in
suggesting the correct spacing.
