Ray, I think I can connect with PulseGuide. It was not obvious how to set the com port, but I found it and when I press connect, I don't get an error message. I haven't read the instructions on

I know this has probably been covered a hundred times, but I checked the files area first and didn't see anything. And perhaps I'm just missing something in the manual. As a longtime wedge-mounted
