I couldnt POSSIBLY be more pleased! This computerized mount is not only a great bargain, it's astonishingly well made, rock solid...and only 17lbs!! It is incredibly easy to use and learn how to use. Very easy to align and correct alignment. The battery pack doubles as a counterweight, Even the degree scale on the polar axis is dead on. That's GOT to be a first. If you are searching for a computerized mount for a scope weighing up to 10 lbs, look no further! I got it for the Orion 80 mm apochromatic refractor (a great bargain for only $500) If you have a larger scope you should check out the heavyweight mounts on the Ioptron website, many sold by Wayfair. The alt-azimuth ones allow you to use another telescope as a counterweight! This company is a master of novel engineering and design. |
