I'm not sure I understand what the issue is about using PemPro because as best I know TheSkyX loads both the 32 and 64bit versions. Why not just use the 32bit version with your camera to get the job done? It's so much easier to collect the data in PemPro! The camera can be at basically any angle and star selection is fully automated. And, you can easily view the data as it is collected and graphed. The graphing gives one a very quick visual evaluation of the errors in PE both before and after correction. It's actually not necessary to go through the wizard. You just need to know the resolution which you can get in lots of different ways. It's also not necessary to get PemPro to slew the scope or move it during the Wizard routine. For some reason it can't move Paramounts easily...not sure why but it's not necessary to get the PEC done.

Also, on both of my Paramounts (MEII and MX+) I have always been able to be below 1 arc-sec PTP. It does take a good night, however, but worth going after in my view particularly if you want to try unguided imaging.
