Hi Jerry, Scott and Team, I'm using an EXOS2-GT with PMC-Eight and an ES152ED. I'm doing sketching of the moon and need to know if there is an easy way to switch to Lunar Tracking on the Explore Stars

Mirko, just to let you know that your instructions worked a treat! Might be worth you posting them as a file to be available for other Mac users, just a thought. You certainly saved me hours of termin

Hello everyone - first post here so apologies for any naivety or stupidity on my part! Just bought an iexos-100 as my entry into the world of astrophotography and in the few days I've had it I'm very
