Hi Phil, I also just got an NJP, although it's the Temma PC version (I bought it used). I have been using The Sky and Richard Lawler's Unofficial Temma driver...
Thanks Jeff...mine is also the Temma PC. Although you use it with TheSky, did the mount come with its own software? Did it come with an operator/owners manual?...
