A good friend got one of the very first Mach1 mounts, and as luck would have it, he doesn't have the scope he'll be using on it yet, so I am getting to break it in for him.
Last night was first light for it. We put my TMB 115 CNC on it, and since it was a nearly full Moon, I put the ST2k on as soon as I was star synced.
It is a little noisier than the 900 and 1200 mounts. The software for the keypad hasn't been updated to show the Mach1 as an option yet, but it worked fine with the keypad thinking it was an AP1200.
Imaging could become boring with this mount. You set everything up, tell it what to do, and it just does it. Flawlessly.
It's an incredibly nice mount.
