Hi Peter, are you able to test them reasonably easily? If so I might pull the MC board and I could send both that and the hand controller to you to check.

Biggest problem I have is time to look into it, I will have to get a chip socket for the RS232 chip and fit that and a new IC. The only other IC on that board looks like a buffer so I might replace that too.

I am considering remounting the OTA on a GEM, preferably a goto that has also got a straight clock drive function as well so i can cheat, or learn the sky properly. I am a bit tempted to stick it on a HEQ5 pro so I can do longer exposure AP with it than 15 second stuff.
