  1. Dear All, I just started installing the latest Autoslew version so I can use the latest Sequence version and I am having an issue with the COM port number. My DDM100 CI-Servos.ini file "Comport" port number matches my device manager "Prolific USB-to-Serial Comm port" number. When I start Autoslew, its in simulator mode. The mount is turned on. Does anyone have any suggestions? I didn't gert a pop up saying the comm port was wrong when I first entered my license key. Anyone? Simon
  2. I too am interested in this. It is more than frustrating that a post such as this goes unanswered in 3 months. Argh.
  3. Hello All, I have just signed up to the forum because I am researching the possibility of purchasing an ASA mount and I am keen to get some feedback. I currently own a 10 Micron 2000 in a permanent set up which carries a dual scope system (FSQ106 and 152mm LZOS). I am looking to purchase a 100kg capacity mount to carry a 17 CDK and probably the 152 refractor together. I may also mount a small solar scope. At first, I automatically looked to the 10 Micron 3000 but more recently have become intrigued by the DDM100 which I believe may be available later this year. For software, I use Voyager (which is really good). The ASA software suite looks really good. I note that years ago there may have been difficulties with documentation and customer support, but it appears from my research at least, that things have markedly improved. My primary motivation for using the 10 Micron was to get rid of the need to guide and "just make things work". The 10 Micron does this well, although I must admit, I haven't been able to replicate some of the claims made in the forums - I can do 20 minutes unguided at 1200mm just about, but this is the limit and if I am honest, I think 10 minutes is more realistic. Some have suggested that the ASAs perform even better. My 10 Micron has never given me any trouble of any kind and I think it's really easy to use. I get the impression that the learning curve is steeper with ASA mounts but I am a Computer Scientist by trade and work in AI; I say this simply to stress that working with complex software (that works) is never a problem. ANY information you can provide that may help me in making my decision would be gratefully received - good or bad! Thanks for reading! Simon
