Overall Reviews Needed
Posted: Wed Mar 27, 2024 2:00 pm
Good morning,
I am very interested in this mount, but I am having a difficult time finding reviews. Hopefully this forum can help.
How difficult is the polar alignment? I have read where the mount moves when tightening down the levers/ screws, etc. and a few reviews say it's not a problem. Have any improvements been made to help with this?
How well does the carbon fiber tripod perform? My imaging setup right now includes an 80mm APO. I'm wanting to expand my imaging telescopes to include an 8" SCT or a 120mm or 130mm APO.
I would think the 80 APO would perform fine on the carbon fiber tripod. I am worried that the larger scope would be susceptible to breezes/ wind. Would adding a tripod sling with 20 pounds help? Or would it be best to use the adapter and mount it on a Skywatcher EQ6-R tripod?
Any information will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
