Wil,

    CCDtrack works fine for my LX200.  I was just wondering if
a more sophisticated tracking program could solve the LX50's
lack of PEC.  The current SBIG tracking technique chases the
periodic error.   If it had a "learn mode", the ST-4 software might be
able correct for PE, control system parameter changes, etc.

     Maybe SBIG plans something like this for the future.
