Hi
Can anyone tell me what the PEC error on a MI250 is. Is it as good as an AP900 or the Tak NJP mount. I have placed an order and want to be sure it can carry a 30 Lbs load with excellent tracking for long exposure CCD. Any response is sincerely appreciated in advance.
Ashton

I use the MI250 for my C14 (about 60 lbs with equipment)... the M66 I too in a previous post (this morning) shows how well it guides at 2500mm focal length.

A very nice mount!
