PEC handles the high frequency PE and Protrack handles the slow flexure issues.

I've been in denial about the capabilities of my current mount so I thought I would make the move while I had Martin's assistance to set it up. I haven't done any Tpoint yet but that will probably happen this week.

Thanks Marcus. I should have done something like this a long time ago but boy I've spent a lot on astronomy this year. Ah well - you can't take it with you.

Thanks Marc. I'm certainly hoping for an improvement from the HGM200.
