Hi, I have an Alpy 600 setup with calibration and guiding modules and , over the past year, have been using it and posting profiles to AAVSO archive. That being said, I've moved to an apartment in town and cannot do any observing from here. I'm looking at some remote options, but nothing has worked out so far. A few days ago I signed up with iTelescope and they have a 430mm f/6.8 Planewave scope (T17) with a SA 200 grating, at their Australian observatory. 2 questions: 1) Would this setup be adequate for AAVSO? 2) Even if not I would like to start using it and would like to know if any menbers have used this setup? I'm new to iTelescope and just getting use to navigating the system. One thing, for using the SA 200, commands have to be used, i.e. ' Use command "FORCESTARTUPFOCUS ' is their manually edited T!7 session TXT/ACP plans'. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
