Next to the 1200, 900, Mach1 and way in the back an earlier 400 mount, in case you had any questions about how big the BIG ONE is ....

That is big!

That rear setup is close to the first setup from AP that I had - a Traveler on a 400QMD (not the GTO as in the image). I remember I ordered them and got them shipped together. I would bet not too many people get an AP OTA and mount at the same time anymore!

The 400QMD was sold, but the Traveler is still mine.

Trying to grasp the perspective here. Is that CW shaft the same diameter as the AP1200 behind it?
