A couple days after the new firmware for the K-1 dropped I saw someone on the facebook group complaining how it made his K-1 unusable.  I don't remember the details.  Being able to use the third gen astrotracer that operates based on a test shot rather than dead reckoning is very tempting, but not at the expense of breaking things.

In a related note, has anyone tried using the third gen astrotracer in conjuction with an equatorial mount?  It seems to me that if the equatorial mount is even reasonably close, the computational astrotracer could do an amazing job of fine tuning.

Larry, the new firmware V2.40 for K-1 and K-1 II has been corrected and is out now as 2.41. I guess it should be safe now to update.
