I use a 10" RC GSO ( 2000mm  focal length) and a slightly modded Logitech Quickam c905 ( svbony 1.1/4 adapter + uvir filter) and I find that unless using an eyepiece, through the cam Bathinov mask does not give clear diffraction spikes i can see on my capture laptop display ( and that's  with gain and exposure on auto or not). It looks very nice in the eypiece when focused on a bright star, but cam focus is off the eyepiece focus  by some turns.  There has to be abetter way, or a better cam anyway . 

Hi,

for a plain  alt-az  mount   on a wedge, is there a way to fool the controller  into thinking its an  EQ? What's  the difference in the cables, if  any?

The handset detects the mount type and selects the appropriate tracking modes.
