Hi Rajiva,

You seem to keep going back to alignment problems, bringing up the lack of Polar Scope and Autoguiding.

The TDM is not designed to solve the lack of ability in system setup and alignment, it is designed to give PE accuracy to your EQ6 or similar that is only found in $20k+ mounts.

If the problem is alignment, then this product not the answer.

BTW Down in the south where we are, most people dont worry about a polar scope as you cant generally see the SCP through it as it is so faint (5.5Mag or fainter) and the stars are more than 1deg off. People here learn to drift align, or use mount based electronic alignment procedures.
