Try these sites for some advice as there's probably someone there who has tried with a similar set-up. http://stargazerslounge.com/ http://www.cloudynights.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?Cat= _________________ proud owner of copy 28 of Rival Kings

Found the local shop VERY helpful, they will even set the scope up for me and give me a demo of how it all works, will even put the software in my laptop if needed. And all for a fantastic price!!!! _________________ Live life to the full for as long as you can, which is never long enough......
