Hi, I was wondering what was the conductor gage (AWG) of the power cable (6-ft) included with the Mach 2. There are writings on the jacket in what seems to be Japanese language as well as the number 0

Last night I used the tracking limit explorer to define meridian limits for the first time and the process worked very well. My question involves keeping track of the correct limit file across scopes

Testing new mach2 for a couple of nights. It works great out of the box and I am very pleased. One issue bothering me is that I got slightly elongated stars across the entire image (15min Ha sub). The
