Hi all,
I have been training the PEC on my 10" f10 LX200 using a Meade 9mm
illuminated eyepeice and a 2x barlows lens. After training I remove the
barlow lens and watch the star through one 8 min cycle. After several
attempts I was able to train the PEC well enough so that the star will stay
within the lines of the small center box with out the barlows lens. My
questions are as follows:

1) After training the star seems to go back and forth inside the box
continually throughout the 8 min cycle. Is this alright or will this show up
on film photos taken at f6?
2)What is the arc second measurement between the lines of this small box in
the center of the 9mm eyepeice at f10 and f6?
3)As far as the initial number of 21600 is concerned should I try to obtain
a number as close to this as possible after training and updating? I now
have 21616 but have had it as close as 21601.

I don't know about the rest of you but I there are several places on my worm
gear where the star moves out of the center so fast I can not correct fast
enough to keep the star in the center. I wish the PEC would play back what
it has already learned while you update. Thanks for any responses.

Robert
