Conditions precluded any PEC training last night, but a question did pop up in my little brain...

Seeing as how the PecTool is just monitoring an recording, and PHD is doing what it normally does, I'm guessing that one could image while all of this is going on, right? Not only am I lazy, but I hate to waste time that could be used roping photons...

that's correct - you can image while recording the PE curve with PECTool.

Would it be better to do the PEC training with a long FL scope or a short FL?

Doug, Unless you have a mount that's not listed in your sig... The CG5 does not have PEC capability.
