I can get Sky X to connect to SX Trius but when I try to take a photo it freezes.
I havent given it a red hot go on sorting it out. PMX mount QC is dodgy and not mature.
Sky X is really still being sorted out. It should be great in a year or so once all the bugs have been updated.
Sky X is most likely SBIG-Centric type software and other manufacturers are merely a plugin and who knows if its the latest drivers or not or how poorly implemented control is on other manufacturers.

I'd get an AP 1100 myself. Check out how many PMX users post problems with their mounts. I wonder if anyone
on this forum has gotten a PMX that worked faultlessly out of the box. I think unlikely. Still a nice mount once its
all going. But I can see its a bit of sensitive new age machine that is likely to need constant love and attention otherwise
it will chuck a hissy fit!

All that software integration is seductive but if its buggy its not so pleasant. AP is likely to work right out of the box, be super
well engineered, has superb QC and is also compatible with all this software. Plus it has an option to use accurate encoders so you
can get the mount now and later upgrade with encoders to go to the next level.
