Ok,

My Norwegian if not good, but there are now three sources (Me, Miguel and this guy) whi have tested the SXD.  This guy has also PEC trained his and with PEC on its close to very very good, have a look at the graphs.

very nice.

Did bits come off in their hands too, or do they know their own strength?

We sort of started a discussion on PEC training and why it works with autoguiding, when backlash compensation (in the mount controller) doesn't. I don't have any real experience of either to comment, but what do you think?
