Slewing from park and plate solving is fine..... until one day you loose power when its not parked.I think that means a trip to the remote site?. Although I suppose you could do a very intensive plate solve to see where it is. I used a fancy plate solve service with a pic on the web once, and it worked a treat.

Anyway, it has home sensors, thats the main thing. Im sure the software you have will be sorted eventually and itll all be good.
Fred, not only does it have home sensors, it has encoders too. You can switch the EQ8 on from dead and it knows where it is. Never thought we'd end up with EQ8 deniers out there

Its only a mount!
