Ashton Kaidi's rig. Here's what Ashton has to say:

"I have a fully robotic setup in Big Bear Lake, CA and have the flip flat on an AP130 GT.  I would highly recommend it for flats as well as a dust cover.  Considering that a lot of us are using expensive telescope for robotic operation, it is nice to be able to remotely protect the objective lens. I really like the software and it is easy to link it to CCDAutopilot. Thanks for a great product.  You have a life time customer!"
