Hello Arthur,

I have been using BETI for nearly a year now. I use it on my 10" Dob with Treo 680 and HP iPaq running Astromist. I quite like my setup as there are no wires and Astromist is easy to use. Here is a link to one of my posts:

Do you have any particular question?

Best Regards,
J.

I'm interested in this system but there seems to be only a few users, why?

I would like to see more user reports. Is there another forum for BETI users?

Any comments apreciated, Jakob.
