Thanks Mark, I have already called and left a message for them. -Ray

Try David Butler at Master Cases 888 707 9333. They made awesome cases for me. They are approved for air travel, but who would put a 1200 on a plane?

Having just received my 1200 Goto this last week, I have to agree with you Mark about the 1200. It is absolutely awesome! This is one fantastic mount. Does anyone have a recommendation for a case to

Paul and all GTO users, Here is an updated version of the changes made thus far to the firmware in the keypad and the chip located in the servo box. Charles is working on a few enhancements and minor

My very appreciative thanks to both Charles Sinsovsky, and Roland Christen for letting me help them dissasemble their 1200 GTO's at this past weekend's Astrofest. While i didn't catch the assembly in

To Charles and everyone else who responded, I am grateful for your help. I'll try it next night out. I know, I know--RTFM. :-) Paul Gustafson

Great! That will be a very useful feature especially for long exposure astrophotography. Bobby Middleton http://www.koyote.com/users/bobm/astro1.htm

The polar alignment routine using 4 stars ie: using the n-polar aligment mode with at least 2.4 firmware will not require you to move the scope by hand anytime, other then the inital pointing, but

A speical feature is coming for 2.6 that will permit you to use the a/p GTO mount to think the zenith is not at the center or top of the mount, but rather offset by a user selectable amount, say 4

Hello Everyone, Sorry I did not respond to these questions right away, I have been VERY busy with DSV 3.0, the upcoming downloadable Hand controller code. a new chip will be required for your

Hello What can i do to verify orthogonality.I have a C8 and a ap900 gto and i have some problems with the precisions of pointing of the mount. When i press Rcal to recalibrate on a star (for exemple

There should be some instructions, and I poseted my thoughts on message #2 of this e-group. I think it would be very difficult. Perhaps you can set up during the day in front of your house just to
