PHD 2 synchronous pulse guide warning pop up 9 messages
Quick question should the synchronous pulse guide box in ASCOM driver be checked or not checked to minimize the chance of this warning coming up? As this has been happening almost every session. Best

Alt/Az Version of Mach2GTO 14 messages
Has there ever been, or will there ever be, consideration in developing an alt/az version of the Mach2GTO mount? Perhaps remove the wedge and mount the Mach2GTO proper into an alt/az configuration. Or
