Is there any way to add Periodic Error Correction to the NPJ?

Thanks,

Dan

Dan,

The Tak Temma mount control computer, which is on the NJP does not have PEC capability. You can use software to measure the PE, such as PemPro, but you can't correct it. Much chat about Tak adding this capability, but nothing yet. I should say that the NJP tracks with very little error and with auto-guided imaging, you don't need PEC.
