With the magic Sidereal servo controller 11 the go tos and tracking are spot on.
I build a sky map using CDC and have no need to plate solve after polar alignment with Sharpcap (verified by Darve drifts). PHD2 guiding with an off axis guider is pleasingly accurate and the calibration of Phd is a breeze.I have the non split Mesu (as has Billdan on this forum). Both of us routinely get tracking RMS of around .4 seconds, I have had as low as .33 seconds with this long FL scope.


I tried a Losmandy g11 with Gemini 2 but the Mesu with Sidereal puts it to shame.

Great, so another confirmation that i can go with Mesu confidently.


Thank you, Chris!


Now my plan first to get a scope [a premium one] then the mount will be next in my list.
