I have upgraded and I think the backlash compensation and autoguiding is not free anymore...and requires key code...

i hope i am wrong....why?

because in the previous built, there was no need to enter any code...

now there is a code to enter, but not sure what function it will enable.

But the slewing and motor drive characteristic appear the same to me...

Your manual is not english?? Anyway, you can download the english version manual (around 17MB) at: http://www.company7.com/vixen/mounts/sphinxsx.html

Haha! My original copy is Jap version. Too inconvenient to download. Its ok now, I later got the Eng version.

Thanks Chee Yiun!

What? Not free anymore? Hmm.. I will hold off the update first then.. heh.

Seems like Vixen is pulling its socks up. After a long period of no updates, suddenly one update almost every month!

Hoorey!
