sadly date does not fit for me so will have to wait for next year 😢

Hello as anyone got this mount working successful on eq mod  was trying one and when i connect using Mount Options  auto detect i get the message Overflow 

if i change  to  custom then AZEQ5 it connects  so my question is as any one got the right settings for the AZ-GTI mount

the manual says Gear ratio 6480 resolution 2073600 counts /rev

thanks in advance

All are stunning, could not have picked between them, well done all

i will try to find time to do some cakes too

Any news on the pitch allocations please  

Booked already

wow    what a really marvellous image

Im unsure where to go with all this concidering that Ive not had first light with this mount, My plan for a while is to load this mount up and have all my eggs in one basket, I checked the full rotation of the dec and there is loosness at one part and none in the opposite which indicates the same issue other have with their mounts.  There is also some play in the RA.  I had a quick look through the manual last night and there seems to be a backlash compensation option on the hand controler, also Im sure my guiding software AA5 has a backlash compensation option too?  Should I bite the bullet and contact the deal and send it back or carry on till first light .  Problem is I send this back I have no mount.

i would certainly try the mount with first light, surely nothing can be assumed without trying it first and seeing how it performs?  This will not affect your ability to return if faulty.  But if all works to a required standard for you then everyone is happy I think it is just unfortunate that there are a few failures in what generally appears to be a decent for the price product.  You always hear loads about the failures and never very much when everything goes to plan

Even the higher end ones have problems  My GM1000 came with the wrong size bolts to put it all together!!

Hi there

would just like to thank First Light Optics for the excellent service and advice. Nothing for Martin seems too much trouble. I am a relative newbie and their service has been outstanding. Everything I have ordered, queried or asked they have tried to accomodate.

Very fast deliveries and even when I had a problem with a sadlle I had ordered incorrectly before Kelling they sent me out the correct one (no charge) and told ne to return the other after I got back.

Can't recommend them enough.
