There are a few things that are needed when using the ASCOM driver that have been discussed a lot over the three years since this forum has been available. Also, there are several knowledge base artic

I have been reading everyone's battery suggestions and I thought I would add a bit of data to the mix. I installed a power meter on my PMC-8 Exos2 so that I could see my total current draw from 12 vol

Hi Chris, I am showing my electrical engineering bias, when you said schematic, I thought you meant electrical, not mechanical, LOL. I do have a mechanical drawing of the iEXOS 100, but not of the EXO

Gents, A longer scope is more likely (not certain) to have oscillation problems, not a dampening effect. Plus it is more likely (not certain) to act as a sail in breezes. The cross section (diameter X
