Can anyone tell me what the jack sizes are for the Focus, Reticle, and aux +6V jacks. The manual says they take 3.5 mm mono phone plugs but that is not the case with my unit and the plugs I have about

Here is my first light image with the epsilon 160ED riding atop the 900 GTO mount. This scope started out life as defective, made the round trip to Japan. Now all is good. I used a DSLR with 4.8 micro

Hi All Just did a major upgrade (ASCOM 6.6SP1, V2 driver 5.60.03, APCC Pro 1.9.6.3) to the software controlling my GTO1100. All seemed to go well until I start APCC. APCC on start up pops up dialog th
