Hi Logan,
Ah, you will have a lot to unlearn and learn. At least I have some consistent things between the software and mount (which I'm hoping to still receive this afternoon).
I happened to read this article today about a remote setup at Coona. with an AP mount. You might find it interesting (see #10) re some tracking issues relating to balance. The entire site is worth having a look around at and very good to get an overview of the difficulties of remote telescope control. PS I want that TEC180!

When do you expect your mount?
