[APBeta] V2.66

[Jared]

I've essentially gotten around this by creating multiple "telescopes" in AP
for the same mount.  For instance I have a:
8SCT-CGEM
80mm-CGEM

and
8SCT-NexStar
80mm-NexStar

All of the settings for a given mount are the same, but parameters change
based on what is actually connected to it.  For those reasons I generally
end up creating "custom" telescope configurations.  After all celestron
never sold an 80mm with the CGEM and I wouldn't expect it to be in "the
list."
