So my first try at calibrating didn't go so well, but it wasn't a mount issue.? I couldn't for the life of me get a good focus with the guide setup that was good enough for guide assistant to be happy.? It's my own fault.? I'm using a WO 50mm guide scope with the Rotolock.? I took the rotolock off and tried to get the camera hard attached with the correct spacers for back focus, while trying to error on the side of leaving a little room on the focus mechanism (dew shield) to fine tune.? I errored in the wrong direction and couldn't get to focus.? It doesn't get? dark enough here to use the equipment until about 10:15 this time of year and I have a real job so I called it quits and went to bed rather than try to play with the adapters on the camera/scope.
I did get an unexpected bonus yesterday.? ?The neighbors had their monster 100' oak tree removed that blocks my southern view.? I can now see the correct part of the sky from my patio.? I like trees, but I'm glad that one is gone!?
I was thinking about purchasing PEMPro.? Is it worth it just to go ahead and buy it and be done with it or do some of the other tools do just as well when I get to that stage of the setup?? $150 seems a bit steep but I've already dropped the money on the G11, plus about $600 in the addons so what's another 150 I guess.
