in my opinion the TDM System is much to expensive for what it can do, you loose your Polar scope what makes south
(north) leveling a real problem and a stand alone autoguiding system can do much more for less money. In germany, where Meade Europe is trying
to sell this system many Starfriends come to the decision that the system is not worth buying it.
1. The system has no correction possibilitys in DEC, so you need some kind of real good alignment. With a lost polar scope ...
2. As no DEC corrections are available by the TDM you need some extra Guiding system. If you have such extra guiding system there is no need for a TDM at all as this system will guide RA as well.
3. For just 30% of the TDM price you can get
a stand alone guiding system that will do the job in RA and DEC and you keep your polar scope.

A such revolutionary technology that it was implemented as a improved and FREE
Feature in the LFE Photo, called PEC Tracker or EPEC, before the TDM V2 was available.
Just my two cents to this excessively overpriced piece of electronic.
