As for TheSky - i can take or leave that (nothing positive has happened with that piece of software in my hands  ) If i had a little bit extra i would get the AP1200 - simply because you can image well past the meridian without having to do a flip, and it has a hand controller - especially if the laptop goes south |
The PMX goes 2 hours past the meridian. With that also it depends on where the scope is. No mount will allow going past the meridian more than say an hour if the scope is parallel to the pier or tripod as the camera will hit the pier or tripod. So it depends on the angle you are imaging at. But if it can miss the pier or tripod being able to image all night without a flip would be a bonus as often that is at 2am when an object needs to be flipped! As far as no hand controller if my laptop goes south then the night is a writeoff as I image and its all totally computer dependent. But if you are using a DSLR with its portability then yes that would be an advantage. Although you probably can run the PMX off a tablet type computer.
