My concern with this hand contoller is this.
The firmware does not work correctly in a time zone where it is in 1/2 hour increments. ie 9.5 hours. The unit will consistently point incorrectly and the target will never be in the field of a 24 panoptic.
Next, v3.11 was supposed to stop the autoslew. Well it does do this, but at hi res this means moving just off the chip. ie when imaging at 10,000mm jupiter will slew and then go back to the same place if I just touch the direction arrow. It does this in both axis's. It would not be visible in the ep because the magnification is insignificant, when imaging at hi res it is really annoying.
Fixing the basics is more important than adding more features. I have emailed them about this often. As the one of the first owners in Australia of the v3 controller I have sent many emails and been their beta tester, but alas they are more concerned with adding features. I suspect they really don't care about getting the issues sorted.
I am really not impressed with the HC. The mount on the other hand is fine.
