Paul, I guess you are talking about this result. I suppose you have never used this version of pempro else you would know that what you are seeing is the correction curve not the error curve. Please note the eqmod tab, you won't see that visible on yours as your mount is not ascom compliant. I guess if you had a technical background instead of a legal background, this wouldn't need to be pointed out.
I have 35 plus years experience dealing with electronics and complex technical entities and hold a degree in software engineering. I'm pretty sure sure I can capture data from a guide camera
And, it does work with TPoint. Although I don't need or use it. As with the eq6, I just use maxim to slew to target, pinpoint, sync and correct and it's there. I have slewed from the SE to the NW and it pinpoints in seconds. That is where the eq6 used to get lost, this one doesn't. I drive it remotely except I still need to fit the robofocus to the scope.
I'll add that a lot of people use automation software to drive skywatcher mounts, ap mounts, etc etc as robotic mounts.
Apart from the advertising, what makes a Bisque mount
the robotic mount ?
As ray said, they are all just gears and motors + software.
