Anyway, the camera issue is resolved and I'm feeling quite confident that the new TEC FRC is going to perform as expected. Overall, between these two issues, a dec motor failure on my MEII that took ages to figure out, and rotator collimation issues (that Martin Pugh solved!) I lost about a year of imaging. Boo hoo.

Crikey,yeah that must have challenged your patience...I hope you are back imaging successfully now, are you setup at Martins remote hosting business?
