cheers, Bird
hopefully the gearbox was under warranty

how did you find the tracking process compared to the g11. The whole cooling / tracking / guiding / focussing / filtering / capturing / coffee making / sleep depriving system must now reaaly be smooth.

I am researching the guide scope for my old toucam......just need to stabilize my wonky guide scope.

There is a ccd female socket on my hand controler for the dob driver and i reckon i can use desire / toucam / laptop to guide the scope.
