Hi all - looking to a major downsizing - I would welcome any comments regarding this mount & ZWO TC-40 carbon fibre tripod - looking to pair with RVO Horizon 60mm or 72mm refractor..many thanks (in advance)..Ewan.

Good evening folks! Any thoughts on compatibility …still contemplating travel set-up!!🚀🚐….said tripod shall (hopefully🙈) be adorned with Skywatcher Az gti mount/Rother Valley Optics Horizon 60 ED refractor/guide camera & imaging cameras (zwo/plus Asiar) ideas & comments appreciated…Kind regards, Starbug Elvis 🐾🚀🤓

Good morning, Has anyone used the above, if so…any thoughts/reports? Many thanks in advance!

Thank you AstroNebulee and others for your valued input…think I am leaning towards the AZGTi mount…seems to meet all criteria..weight, impressive results and actual user findings…thank you, once again! Clear skies to all🚀☄️

Many thanks for reply... I already have a Celestron CGX equatorial mount...looking for a setup which is slightly more travel friendly...Ipotron skyguider seems the way to go! Kind regards, Ewan.

Good evening, Opinions please.. will be pairing this with Rother Valley Horizon 72 ED Doublet Refractor & guide scope.. ...looking at the Atik 120MM - S as a guide camera (again please ..suggestions). Hopefully mounting on either Sky Watcher AZ GTi mount & tripod or Ioptron Skyguider Pro & Literoc tripod....thoughts? Many thanks ....in advance for input! Kind regards, Ewan.

Many thanks for responses.. I am still swithering between this goto mount or the Ipotron Skyguider pro mount...I suppose a decision between ease (lazyness!) and star atlas! Any further input, particularly regarding guide cameras and imaging cameras would be greatly appreciated! Apart from dabbling in astrophotography with a digital camera, this is definitely new territory! Kind regards, Ewan.

Good afternoon, Opinions please...also would like to add iOptron ZEQ25/CEM25 LiteRoc Tripod & RVO Horizon® 72 ED Doublet Refractor Full Imaging Package - still looking at options for guide scope camera and imaging camera - looking at ZWO ASI 120mm Mini for guiding & Explore Scientific 16MP Deep Sky Astro Camera for imaging. Please note budget is £3000 (or there abouts)...so no silly suggestions please...much obliged...also, this is for a light weight travel option... Look forward to input. Thank goodness winter is coming...clear skies (earlier nights!) all round I hope! Cheers, Ewan.
