Andrew, Brendan:
Thank you guys for your time to answer my questions. Everything is clear. As an update, I should say that I turned down the business.

I will stick with the EQ-6 in its new fashion, the AZ EQ-6 GT. The reason is that I have operated my observatory in a semi-automatic way. I can't be beside the telescope the whole night because of a disability I have on my back and legs.
I have frame capture schedule, auto-focus and meridian's flips automated. I also have a clouds alarm that, once fired, I stop the session, close the roof and go back to bed.
So, to have these same capabilities, I would need the functions provided by Gemini-2.

As I've been operating my stuff with Neq-6 successfully, I thought better not change anything, even more with all of these new variables involved and just quit the G11 idea.

Thanks again guys and have all a great weekend,
Fernando
