Re: Reasonably priced mount...Posted By John Biretta |
I've use this on a Losmandy G-11 with acceptible results,
but make sure you get the Gemini drive as the servo motors
are much smoother than the stepper motors. But it is just
big and heavy enough, and enough setup effort, that it does
impact my viewing. At least 5 trips outside with really
heavy stuff to set it up (tripod, head, weight shaft+weights,
battery+OTA rings, OTA).
I also tried it on a GM-8 once or twice. Setup is much
easier, but the stability is barely adequate. I would not
recommend it.
