The guy that is best suited to answer your question is "Uncle" Rod Mollise... Uncle Rod literally wrote the book on the SCT (actually now it's two books) and is always more than happy to help out fellow SCT owners...

HEre's a link to his webpage:

You could also send him a Private Message since he is a lively member of Astromart.
