Celestron AAM & JMI 8192 Tic Encoders?

Has anyone here used the Celestron Advanced Astromaster with JMI 8192 Tic High resolution encoders. Celestron's Kit uses 4000 Tics, No mention of using higher encoders in the instruction manuals. I was hoping this would increase my accuracy.......
I am using the C14 on a CI700 Mount........Thank You Mike

meade new series 5000 HD-60 6-Element Eyepiece

Posted By Michael Colalella

Maybe a attempt to clone a TV Radian?
Price $79
The latest advancement in the Meade Series 5000 eyepiece series offers a large 60° apparent field of view and a flat field of view which is tack sharp right to the edge. This design provides more than 17mm of eye relief for terrific viewing comfort while simultaneously delivering a 40% improvement in corrections for chromatic aberration and edge distortions over traditional Plössls. You simply won't believe how much a premium eyepiece can improve your view, no matter what telescope you own.
