Make a nice grab and go scope possibly - I am evaluating the idea for when I visit teh country (and my wife's likely reaction)!


Hey I asked a couple of questions yesterday but the post seems to have dissappeared. If you could answer them I could assess whether to add a second Atlux to my stable. They were about laptop connectivity options, what connections were needed and what third party scopeware could control it and what point and guiding accuracy you were able to achieve with this particular unit!

Many thanks Dave!

Ethernet.
There is a Vixen ASCOM driver, or the SkyX talks natively.
For PEC I used PEMPro software to tune.
