I was considering doing some grave digging on your thread from this time last year H, ask how things are going.
At this stage I've probably taken my EQ6 outside 4 times since I bought it two months ago, not a lot of a chance to actually do some testing and what not.
The main reason I've never done anything in the past is that I have NEVER been able to get my 10" LX200 to communicate with any of 3 computers running everything from XP to Windows 8.1.
I haven't actually had to deal with a meridian flip yet, other than that I have done the other things very briefly but what I need is some clear nights and Melbourne just hadn't given anything in the past three months
Hopefully we'll be getting a good Spring!
Good point about V3, didn't even occur to me to track down the Freeware version!
