Well I had a go with the Ioptron mount and set it to go to M42 after 2 star alignment and it went into brain farts!!!!!
Seems the 12 volt battery was low so I changed it re-booted and all was well. Went to M42 and took a few 3 second shots of the trapezium and fish mouth. Stacked them and the result is below. OK and so the tracking was not brilliant (ie up to my Losmandy standard, but what did I expect).
