Meade Coronado Goto Telescope Mount, 497, Milapse Review

I did not fully follow the instructions on the Milapse youtube video, so I missed the part where the new controller cannot be controlled by a PC. That is my fault and not the vendor. The package arrived before I expected it and in top condition. As to being able to use it with my cameras, yep it'll do many of the functions I hoped it could. It won't work well as a tracking head for my jib crane, as it is too noisy and slow, but it will work for many other areas. For timelapse, I just figured out how to make it work using good old pencil and math and it does a great job. I think I can probably hack into the controller and get it to work with pc controls, but that is down the road. Overall, I'm well pleased.
