I am about to purchase a SW Goto Dob for myself and a smaller SW Mak on an alt/az Goto mount for the kids. I was thinking about getting a GPS unit so you don't have to enter date/time/position data when starting up, or if the power gets disconnected, etc.
From a few firmware revisions ago it seems that you can't just use any GPS - you have to use the SW one at around $200+.
So two questions:
1. Is it that annoying to have to re-enter the time/date/position data ?
If so:
2. Could I use just the one GPS unit to initialise the first handset/mount then once it's done disconnect and use it to initialise the second one ?
Most reports/posts I have been able to find on the net are 3-4 years old so any new ideas would be appreciated.
cheers
