I have been a forum lurker for a while and thought I would make my first post here. I echo everything everyone says about this mount, it just exudes quality. I have a number of alt/az mounts and this is head and shoulders above them all. It may not have the absolute capacity of the APM az/maxload but I am not sure it is that far behind and the presence of the slo/mo controls make it so much nicer for me to use.
The attention to detail is fantastic, I love that you can screw the counterweight bar into the 2nd saddle. It is the little things that make this mount a joy to use.
The nexus dsc is a perfect partner for it as well, I have never used one before and it is so easy to use and very accurate. After the 2 star alignment every object was very close to the centre of the fov in my Binoviewers.
