I think Bert (Avandonk) has the modified mount with Mel Bartel's software.. And things he is doing with it are amazing :-) (well, the amazing part is mostly not due to the mount but it certainly does help a lot).
I would like to know if this mod include the removal of the second worm gear - from the photos on the web it seems that the stepper motors (in microstep mode) are driving the main worm gear only via timing belt.... but so far I haven't seen enough details on the web.
However, if this is so, it iwill be similar to my dobson, I have only 1:140 worm gear and then 1:12 friction roller reduction, plus 32 microsteps, and the result is quite smooth movement of the telescope, no PE is obvious at the high power eyepiece.
Anyway, I would like to use it with relatively wide angle (200-300mm).
Then, I will try 1000mm cathadioptric that I think is quite good (at least for visual it seems OK) but I never had a decent mount for it.
Then, maybe, one day I will have all this (including my 10" newtonian) on it, under some roof, somewhere in the country far from city lights.... ah, sweet dreams.... :-)
