BISQUE PARAMOUNT MX+ & SKYFI

Olly, I believe it was "Spawn of the Devil"......

Which does make more sense! I think Ian Hislop heard it as I did, judging by his quizzical reaction...

Well, we all hear what we want to hear...

Nope. Paramount requires software on the PC in order to function, in my opinion the biggest and one of he few drawbacks with that mount.

Just seen this thread. Back to the original post - I actually own a MX and Skyfi.

I tried to use my USB skyfi with my PC/MAC - but the prototcol would not work and I could not establish a connection. No luck from the SB forum to find a way through. You have to buy the WiSky adaptor for the ME/MX to be controlled via WiFi as far as I can tell.

Having said that, - you can use your ME/ MX without a PC/Mac. You can use it with an ipad/iphone and the iOS version of TheSky.

Interestingly my MX, in a portable setup, with an initial T-Point calibration and a 20 point re-cal on each occasion I re-assemble, is pointing and tracking more accurately than my 10 Micron 1000HPS did. I think the T-Point model is more robust. If I ever do just visuals, I'll get the WiSky - it avoids the trip hazzard of my comms cable.
