I owned a 1206 and found using a webcam that mirror shift was a BIG problem
in my LX 10". I think you will have the same problem with your camera having
a small chip. I have since sold the 1206 and purchased a NGF-S with DRO hand
unit second hand on astromart, I'm now more that pleased with the results.
My advise is go for a crayford type focuser or the robo focus.
