Another mount inquiry, How does the Stellarvue Stableglide M6 perform? I currently own and love my GM-8, but am thinking about picking up a quick set-up Alt/Az for those evenings that I don't want to drag out the battery and cords, etc.

Thanks,

Steve

Hi Steven--

You might also check into the Takahashi Teegul (Lapides Modified). Like you, I wanted a smooth, solid AZ mount to compliment my EQ and this mount seems to fill the bill. I've had my 100ED and TV76 in a side-by-side setup (about 20 pounds)and the mount performed very well. Also, the slo-mo controls are silky smooth.
