Looking for GOTO mounts that carry 35 pounds or more such as the Losmandy G11, Takahashi EM200, Mountain Instruments MI250, I found no one in the USA carring the Vixen "Atlux". At first I thought I it was due to the problems the SkySensor was having with the FCC, but then I notice dealers are taking future orders for it. Does anyone know the reason the "Atlux" is not distributed in the US?

Orion was the sole vixen distributor for some time. An atlux mount is not the kind of product that fit into their market very well (along with many other great vixen products). Now that Televue is bringing in vixen stuff, all their products will be available. If memory serves me correctly, a Williams Optics GT-1 is very similar to the atlux (even uses the ss2000 controller)...one of these may be a lot easier to find on the used market than an atlux. Don't hold me to any of this though...
