Hi... I guess I didnt do my research right. I've already bought the DSI II a week ago. It seemed to have worked fine until it encountered a lot of slack in the DEC. The problem was that when PHD was doing calibration in DEC, it slewed N, and then changed direction to slew S, but after 15 iterations the scope still didn't change direction, which confused PHD. I think I need to train the gears.

Also, I thought with a proper filters later on, I might be able to get into photometry with the DSI, but I guess youre right that the QHY5 wouldve been a better choice.
