Hi Phillip: I know what you're saying bro. I've felt the same thing about some things when using CdC with DAS. I just assumed, though, that this had to do with the way CdC executes from DAS...the labels for objects passed from DAS look different from my normal labels, etc.
BTW, Steve has promised me he's going to put a nice big "CdC butoon" on DAS soon. ;-) Peace, Rod Mollise Author of _Choosing and Using a Schmidt Cassegrain Telescope_ Like SCTs and MCTs?
