Hello BPO,

In the mean while alot has been changed ( my mount is upgraded to a newer version ) ( alot better ! )
till so far everything is running perfectly but there are some weird things.

While i installed the software package on my Laptop everything was running perfect, but now i got a PC for remote operating my setup, and that one is not working perfect with all the software ( same windows xp version, everything the same )
so i think there are still some software bugs, but for me its running great.

A shot from a few weeks ago 7x20 minuts ( without autoguiding )

But thats only 800mm of focal length.

For me the ASA support is very good, but i also talk alot to other DDM owners through skype and e-mail.
When i had some problems with my DDM, ASA was doing a remote PC session to look at my setup, software etc, and with some phone calls we arranged it all.


so still waiting for a new telescope to get more out of the mount
