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. |
No need to get narky Robin. Don't simply assume someone who has a background in law is an idiot mate. Setup this rig for imaging night after night and show me the subs I want to see if you can get subs that are 2 pixels different from one night to the next. I will be very happy for you to get reliable pointing data. Like I have said I am an adopter of lots of different gear, but night after night operation is another matter. Until I see it happen I will assume it is vapour ware. Like I said happy to be wrong.
Jonathan, slew to the zenith do a focus run and then slew back to the target again and then do that night after night every hour. 3 star alignment will not give reliable results night after night.
Anyway you guys are happy with what you are working with, when you get it robotic please let me know.
