Patrick or anyone else in the know, How does CDC perform with the AP mounts - specifically the AP 900GTO?
The goto function on the AP mounts reputedly is very dependent on orthogonality of mount with scope and the system AP uses has no plate solving capabilities. Since I like to image with different scopes on my current mount (EQ-6 with EQMOD using CDC), this troubles me since each scope will most likely be pointed differently when attached to the mount for the evening. With EQMOD, I can plate solve each time I set up with a different scope and have accurate gotos - maybe not with CDC and the AP system. I am not a big user of the goto system, but usually will sync on a star near the object I want to image and the goto is only a few degrees in distance. With EQMOD, the goto is more than adequate for that distance, but using CDC with the AP mount....? Any practical experience or advice considering the above circumstances? Hunter
