Arrgh..... so are there really people out there that will pay
"1000EUR + shipping + VAT" .....so at about $A2200? for a device that
*will not* correct for:
polar alignment error
intrinsic sidereal/king rate error
mirror flop
mount flexure
OTA felxure
atmospheric refraction
atmospheric convection
camera sag
mount /OTA thermal expansion
mount/OTA thermal contraction
mount non-orthogonality
intrinsic gear indexing errors
etc. etc.
But...by crikey...the constancy of RA shaft rate is brilliant!
Humm.... I seem to recall a dual chip, self guiding CCD camera was introduced to the market nearly 20 years ago, that solved all of these problems....nah...I must have been deluded
