I used the eq6 over the weekend and found it had issues with the cold. There were 3 of us all using the same hand controllers and at around 10pm on friday night they all went off their gotos. This was up on the range in SE qld where the temp was around 3 degrees C. Some boxes, like the aronavis, have built in heaters that kick in at low temps. Obstensively these are for the lcd displays but I wonder if it does not help in other areas of the electronics? I would guess that at low temperatures the skyscan controller is having a voltage drop or somesuch, so to correct the issue I will make a heated cradle for it. I was going to make a cradle anyway, to get it out of that plastic holder and away from the eyepiece tray.
