Hi Everybody! We have put a new version of our keypad firmware up on the website - v.4.15. This is NOT a complete new version of the firmware. That will be the upcoming v.4.20, which is still

In followup to the Dec autoguiding problem I was having (bad autoguiding only in Dec, not in RA and seemingly limited to tracking in certain parts of the sky only) I think now I had two problems: 1)
