You cannot connect the Digital Drive system to a computer and run it via ASCOM...aka you cannot interface a computer to it.
The Gemini system is a good reliable system. I was a bit doubtful at 1st but it's something to get to like. Things like the handset...I'm glad they made it the way they did..I've dropped it many times, stood on it and it's impervious to dew.
I like the way you navigate with just a few buttons. The menu structure is easy to remember & intuitive.
If you are used to "star hopping" & finding objects then you may not need a Gemini.
Alternatives are Argo Navis (around 1K+ Aust) or the Losmandy DSCH and Lumincon Sky vector kit (around $1K Aust)...though I wouldn't really know the prices!
The price of the alternates is around 2/3 the Gemini price at least... indicates to me that the Gemini system is reasonable after all.
