You have to have Pinpoint for the automapper to work right?

Did you use the automapper to get your 30 point model? It seems to be the way to go otherwise it is time consuming.

I could probably install an ethernet cable. I could run it under the house and then across the final 12 metres in a shallow trench.
It'd be a total of about 30 metres though.

Thanks,

Greg.
No. AutomapperII works with CCDSoft and TheSky6. Funny thing was my dome battery ran out of juice before I finished the 300 point model! I had to jury rig a cable from my UPS to finish. I have TODAY removed the dome battery and hooked the dome directly to my main power supply!!

My ethernet cable is 33 meters long (more than I need but I don't have the tools to make a custom length cable). I've had no issues so far.

Cheers, Marcus
