2. What is the PE like once PEC is implemented - guess +/- 3.5 arc seconds?

3. What does the tracking look like on PHD when the titan is carrying a large SCT - what is the RMS error in arc seconds?

I must say it looks really good in your article a great choice of mounts.

Oh and lastly - has anyone ever done a really indepth review of what the Gemini controller is capable of?
1. Good question. Unfortunately I have neither Maxpoint or TPoint so I can't help you out with this one.

2. I've been meaning to try this out myself although I've heard that guiding works better with the Gemini if PEC is disabled. I hope to try this out using Pempro (weather & time permitting) in the next montrh or so.

3. I plan to mount both my FSQ106 & C11 on the Titan soon (probably using a tandem bar). I'll measure the PE once I have and let you know.

4. Not that I'm aware of. I suggest that you read the Gemini L4 manual which gives a pretty good rundown. The Gemini II is coming out shortly with a bunch on new features.
