Only had a few minor glitches, the imaging cam frosted over which led me to see if the anti dew was on and doh! Wrong driver! Even though it worked it did not have control of the dew heater. That and some minor adjustments to the autofocus routine and I was off and running.

The polar alignment was not great and tracking was 'okay' but good enough that I did not bother to correct things there.

It's been a pretty long journey to get to this point but the main upshoot of things is Windows 11 and Ascom are not ready for prime time! If your setting up a machine for image control stick with windows 10 ;)
This is good to know about windows 10/11, as my computer screen is now dead and will be getting new to replace the old.
Thanks,
Kerry

Yea I would strongly advise AGAINST windows 11 as evidently alot of drivers and software are non sympatico :)
