Anyone Using an A-P Mount and TheSkyX?

Davoud:
Christ, I hate being caught in the middle, especially when the people
on either side of me are experts and I am a lowly user. Daniel Bisque
wrote in the SoftBisqUser Yahoo Group today "The AP hand paddle, not
TheSkyX, is entirely responsible for determining the OTA side of pier.
TheSkyX asks the hand paddle ³What side of pier is the OTA on?², and
then displays what the hand controller is reporting."

SlurpieMcDoublegulp:
Daniel Bisque is incorrect. The hand paddle does NOT control the mount. The
servo controls the mount. The hand paddle can be disconnected and the mount
will still report the telescope side - because the servo is the actual brains
of the mount. The hand paddle simply allows you to communicate with the
mount, same as any planetarium program.

I have understood your message and I will convey it to Daniel when I
see him at NEAIC/NEAF.

I agree with almost everything that you have said and almost everything that
