I am considering upgrading my DDM85XL to use absolute encoders. ASA have given me a quote which is expensive, although a lot cheaper than buying a new mount.
I am considering this because I intend to move to a hosted facility and need trouble-free remote operation.
Can anyone advise me whether the benefits of absolute encoders are worthwhile for remote operation, given the upgrade cost of several thousand euros.
