    Comparing the interior of your new 150P to my yr 2000 150F8, 2M, it looks like Tal have vastly improved their matt black paint formula. Your's looks nice and black.

    The 200K dovetail, screwed to the plate, again from below. Again, M8 setscrews, used.

    If you ever want to mount a non Tal scope on the mount, then an extra set of holes can be drilled and threaded to let you fit a saddle. Works beautifully.

    Tal MT-3S sideshot. A view of the whole of the mount. Note the wire from the mount to the polar scope. No need for a battery for it. Can carry 20kg quite easily.

    Tal MT-3S rearshot. A better view of the gear arc and pinion mechanism. Makes adjustment for latitude a breeze. Also shown is the excellent illuminated(from the mount) polar scope as well as the wee plug for the motor corrector handbox.

    A close up view of the Longtitude adjusters. I don't have a newer pillar or tripod, so this is redundant, unless I add a pin.

    The newer DC stepper motor Tal MT-3S, sitting on the Tal wooden tripod. Shows a part of the arc of the gear and the end of the worm. Longtitude adjusters can be seen too. Ignore the failed welding job that I attempted many years back :-/ Don't know what I

    finder fov FYI Andy . I made a copy of the circle then did a multiple paste/array, to fill the width of the FOV. So if the finder is 7deg, then the dia of the circle is 1 deg.
    Another first. An early Tal 8x50 with an etched circle. Fantastic!

    Ah sorry, understand what you mean by the 'V'. The machined V groove round the cirumference. You can just make out the ribbed RA wheel in the above shot. If the weather holds up, I'm going to try out the polar scope bodge. Do you know if tiny 'H' shaped aluminium is available. Would be less hastle(and more accurate) than cutting & screwing together two bits of channel together.

    Job done. Now this is MkI and because the plastic used is quite brittle + plus the solvent in the varnish did seem to cloud the sides of the groove. There will deffo be a MKII. but I'm pleased with the results as a bit of R&D.
    The 200K is built like a T-34 tank. The older 3mm thk alu tubes are a breeze to drill n add stuff. I put another Tal 8x50 finder brkt & shoes on mine to hold my home assembled 80mm finder. In the near future, I'll be drilling n tapping holes for some guider rings to hold my Burgess fluorite and Carton 60/1000. The MT-2C(2M) mount handles this weight with extreme ease !!

    Ahh. This bit.... 'V' in the pedestal? Regarding polar alignment. I've not had a chance to try this out, but I'm hoping it might work.....see half way down this thread of mine.... http://stargazerslounge.com/discussions-scopes-whole-setups/132021-bored-bored-bored.html I'm going to try a std small finder also. Could speed up the setting up of the older Tal mounts without polar scopes.

    The pedestal sleeve is a bit different to mine. Looks a tad longer. Once the locking grub screws on it are removed, does the screw off or slip off? Mine is a slip fit, but I've heard older MT-2C's screwed on.
