Hi,
I actually own a Mesu 200 but I have not had a chance to install it yet.
I didnt order any counter weights, so I have just recently sorted that out.
Plus the EQ6 tripod has to be drilled and tapped to install the adapter plate, which I will get around to soon.
When you order from Lucas, he will set up the Scitech controller for you after you give him your Lat and Long details, so in theory it should be plug and play after you switch on. I'll let you know in a few weeks.
There are a lot of bells and whistles in the latest Scitech firmware i.e
1) Ascom6 with Microsoft Dot Net v4 framework
2) Skyview (planetary program similar to Stellarium or CDC)
3) PointXp5 and Platesolve2 for sky modelling
4) Focuser and Rotator support (must be servo motors)
5) Joystick support instead of the supplied handpad
6) RS232 or USB communication to the PC and an ST4 port for guiding
7) Satellite tracking using TLERetriever2 free software
There is not a lot more I can tell you until I have it up and running, except to say at 25Kg in weight it is very heavy. You can optionally buy it with the RA and DEC parts split (14 + 11Kg) but I didn't bother as I willl be using it in the Obs and not going mobile.
Cheers
Bill
