Thanks all.

Martin, yes, it was taken with my own kit, the Losmandy Titan. Like all Losmandy mounts, they require some fine tuning, but once dialled in, its very capable. I liken it to the same characteristics as an AP900. I'm about to go unattended/robotic with my gear. In fact this weekend I was installing the Sirius observatory shutter motorisation kit into the dome. Should be complete in a few weeks at most. The PME is designed for robotic use whereas the Gemini..hmmm, its a good peice of software engineering, but I have my reservations for the demands of unattended work. I'll let you know after a few months...if you see a Titan for sale, you'll know the answer.

Cheers
