OK....I here's a full and comprehensive report on the Synta Skyscan version 2.04.
Brilliant....I love it...thats it....lol
OK I will give you a little more....Its realy easy to instal and very simple to use....NO experience is needed...its even easier then the Meade LX series autostar.
The motors are very very quiet and easily push my heavy set up around....the GOTO accuracy is slightly off but that has more to do with my set up and adjustment to be refined like backlash and looseness in the DEC gear train.
Over all I love the skyscan so for $960 I think its a great GOTO mod.
Only knock I would give it so far is choosing alignment stars...they should have more stars to choose from but once you get to know a few it makes the job easier...
Sometimes I just do a 1 star alignment...specialy if I know that I am doing imaging and only really need the 1 or 2 target's for the night.
Jonathon also purchased a Skyscan but I think he has had some problems.
