Thanks Adrew for your reply. I think I have the latest firmware in my Autostar as it does allow me to do pec training in both Alt Az. however its the external software progrmas that allow editing of the pec training that gets me stumped. I have chosen to make a wedge as my brother inlaw is a metal fabricator and is going to lazer cut the parts for me so that should be a simple project (and Fun).. I have chosen to also get a De-Rotator as well as from my home location I am not able to see the Celestial Pole, its below my buildings. So it is for this reason that having a de-rotator will allow me to do some fun stuff from home. When I go out to dark locations for deep space stuff I hope to use a wedge. I will have more time and better ability to align using a wedge... I will be on holiday in the states in a weeks time and will be getting a de-rotator thier as they are half the price of that here..

When you say the latest versions not from the Meade site. Are you refering to the Firmware, or are you talking about the PEC editing software?



Regards
Mardy
