Mgen III with Avalon M zero

[Paul1]

Hello everyone.

 Are there people who use the Mgen III with the Avalon M-Zero? 
And what are your findings? 

Greetings Paul

No one experiences with this setup?

Hi Paul,

I've just started to use guiding with my iOptron GEM45, and for that I bought the MGEN-lll and used the ST-4 guide port. With my limited experience I'm happy with its performance. It doesn't directly help you with the Avalon, but I'd have thought if your mount has an ST-4 port it should be OK. Still, I can appreciate that with its high cost you'd want to be sure it works.

The problem I have is that there doesn't seem to be a way of contacting Lacerta directly to ask such questions, the MGEN site just directs you to the supplier for advice, even when you've registered your device. Perhaps someone else has found a way. There is a German language website https://forum.astronomie.de/ where there seems to be occasional discussion about the MGEN. That might be an option for you.

Thank you Ian for your response I'll check it out.

Another thought Paul, it would be worth contacting Avalon to see what they say.

If you haven't seen the latest manual, it is here:

MGEN-3_Manual_EN v1-05.pdf

though I'm not sure it will add much to what you need to know.

Hi Ian

Asked this question a few days ago on the Avalon forum but so far haven't gotten an answer.
