£460, including delivery....

A secondhand EQ mount would be a better bet for my 200P dob OTA, though the platform is probably the way forward for the big dobs.

yes, it's quite pricey and I can't really get my head around how the north south tilt is less than 5deg at UK latitudes - I thought it had to be equivalent to the observer's latitude?

but it's a nice website and there's some really interesting stuff about John Dobson - who knew he was a monk?
