Just hilarious you guys are too funny, thanks for the heads up on all the info. My! this is going to be fun, fumbling over myself out at the scope then retreating to the Cave for hot Salty caramel Capaccino and seeing everything hopefully guide like a champ. I've been using sky for about 10 months and phd2 shouldn't be much more difficult {it's made for dummies} isn't it? Picks the guide star for ya , etc...? I hope to be more accurate than being off a degree and sometimes if I got that really good alignment it's within a milli. according to sky , I been close but, when I don't hook to the computer, I seem to get less than 5' from the pole and 2 nights ago I hit 1'. I get so excited , that I forget to hook it to the hand pad. PHD2 will hook to the aux. port on the mount right?
