as far as I know (from the Pictor user manual),In
order to use the autocenter,autofocus etc ,there
should be a wire running from the pictor control-box
to the scope's pannel.the problem is that the rs232
socket in the scope's pannel is busy with the
connection to the PC serial port.
Is it possible to use the pictorview for controlling
the lx200 without this wire?Is the wire from the PC to
the scope is enaugh?
Thanks
Assaf
