Perhaps tell us a bit more about what you're up to Grant? This would be programmed into the handset presumeably? Are you having imaging troubles?
After playing around with it over 18months I think it is worthwhile as it minimises movement in RA axis, but with caveats:
- EQMOD pulse guiding (isn't confused by the PEC versus guiding commands)
- you already have great tracking and no flexure issues
- you lose it whenever the mount is not parked/unparked successfully and religiously (only takes one crash and you've lost all the hard work).
Even then, as Logie says you may be struggling to see much at the image scale of the ED80. PECrecorder works well with a webcam. I currently use a SSAG with Maxim and send the tracking log to EQMOD's Pecprep program.
Not sure about getting it back into the handset though - I've never been there....
