Good day! I'm looking at buying a Celestron C11 OTA, which I would use on my 900GTO. Any recommendations on the best way to mount it? I already own the 15" dovetail/sliding bar accessories. Many

Re: New features

Roland, Obviously, LCD's can be heated. There are even ruggedized laptops with heated LCD displays. For the size of the pad LCD display, power would not be an issue. Besides, the new rubber

guiding rate

How do the guiding rates, 1.0x, 0.5x, 0.25x etc translate to motion of the mount? What are the units? If I am using PHD guiding and it gives a 50ms pulse and the keypad guide rate is set at 1.0x does
