I got one of these and have now used it twice. I think I would have been very lost if AstroNZ hadn't put his tutorial on YouTube. First time out I fiddled around for about 30 mins. 2nd time, yep 10 mins all done.
On arrival my camera was not focused correctly and the grub screw locking the focus barrel is the tiniest I've ever seen. Had to use one of those tiny flat blade jewellery screwdrivers to undo it.
Anyway no problems with the software on Win10 and the camera is reliably recognised every time I plug it into the Dell laptop.
Finding Octans the first time was a learning experience and the nature of the system requires that your axis is very close to the celestial pole to start with otherwise it's out of the FOV.
This thing is not cheap but it does work even though I'm in suburban Brisbane.
