hi there.
i have the cubepro. ive just changed my firmaware to the smartstar a version so i can use it in eq. ive made a wedge and got it on my origional tripod. i think the set up info for the eq usage is a bit weak. check the ioptron site for payload as it has just been rejuiced but most of the other places selling them have the previous payload capacities. is you vixen the one with or without the front lense. either way the smartstar a should be able to handle it but the scope is as far as it will go for accuracy anyway. if i do a 1 star easy align something goes all haywire with the positioning but 1 star 2 star and 3 star align works fine. be aware that the computer guidance they claim you can use only works when in eq mode as well. it seems that some of the controll parameters are only for the northern hemisphere, it might be just that im using the cube pro, that might have a different pcb in the mount. the the payload on the cubes is low, the lowest stated is for the dual alatz eq smartstar a.
